Principles
4.1 Overview
This Standard specifies requirements to conduct tests in order to characterize
mechanical behaviour and properties of metallic materials. Selection criteria of
mechanical tests are based on the significance and use of each specified test
method. Test methods, which are covered in this Standard, are characterized in
the following paragraphs.
4.2 Tensile test
Tensile tests provide information on the strength and ductility of materials
under uniaxial tensile stresses. Test results can be used in comparing materials,
alloy development, design and quality control. The test method covers the
tension testing of metallic materials in any form at room temperature, and
specifically the methods determine yield strength, yield point elongation,
tensile strength, elongation and reduction of area.
4.3 Fracture toughness test
4.3.1 Overview
This test refers to methods to determine fracture toughness of metallic materials
using the following parameters: stress intensity factor (K), J-integral (J), R-curve
and crack tip opening displacement (CTOD). The fracture toughness
determined in accordance with this method is for opening mode (Mode I) of
loading.
4.3.2 Determination of fracture toughness using
the K test method
Ic
This method provides the measurement of crack-extension resistance at the
start of a crack extension for slow rates of loading and when the crack-tip
12
---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
SIST EN 16602-70-45:2015
EN 16602-70-45:2014 (E)
plastic zone is small compared to both the crack size and to the specimen
dimension in the direction of the constraint.
The method covers the determination of linear elastic plane-strain fracture
toughness (KIc) of metallic materials by tests using a variety of fatigue-
precracked specimens.
4.3.3 Determination of fracture toughness using
the J test method
Ic
This method provides the measurement of crack-extension resistance near the
onset of stable crack extension for slow rates of loading and substantial plastic
deformation.
The method covers the determination of the J-integral plane-strain fracture
toughness (JIc) of metallic materials.
4.3.4 Characterization of fracture toughness
using the R-curve test method
This method provides a characterization of the resistance to fracture of metallic
materials during incremental slow stable crack extension and result from
growth of the plastic zone as the crack extends from a sharp notch. Materials
that can be tested for R-curve development are not limited by strength,
thickness, or toughness provided that specimens are of sufficient size to remain
predominantly elastic.
The method covers the determination of resistance to fracturing of metallic
materials by R-curves obtained by testing compact tension specimens C(T) or
middle tension specimens M(T).
4.3.5 Characterization of fracture toughness
using the CTOD test method
This test method provides a characterization of the fracture toughness of
metallic materials and is used for materials that exhibit a change from ductile to
brittle behaviour with decreasing temperature. This method is also used to
characterize the toughness of materials for which the properties and thickness
of interest preclude the determination of KIc fracture toughness in accordance
with ASTM E 399.
The specimen dimensions can affect the values of CTOD. For this reason
specimens of same dimensions are used when comparing test results.
The method covers the determination of critical crack tip opening displacement
(CTOD) values at one or more of several crack extension events. These CTOD is
used as measures of fracture toughness for metallic materials.

4.4 Fatigue test
4.4.1 General
Fatigue test refers to tests methods for the determination of fatigue strength of
metallic materials subjected to constant amplitude cycling loading.
4.4.2 Force controlled constant amplitude axial
fatigue test
The force controlled axial fatigue test is used to determine the effect of
variations in stress, material, geometry and surface condition on the fatigue
resistance of materials subjected to fatigue loading. The results can also be used
as a guideline for the selection of metallic materials for service under conditions
of repeated direct stress.
The method covers axial force controlled fatigue tests to obtain the fatigue
strength of materials in the fatigue regime, where the strains are predominately
elastic throughout the test.
4.4.3 Strain-controlled fatigue test
Strain-controlled fatigue is important for situations in which components or
portions of components undergo either mechanically or thermally induced
cyclic plastic strains that cause failure within relatively few cycles (i.e. fatigue
5
life < 10 cycles).
The method covers axial strain-controlled fatigue tests to obtain the fatigue
strength of materials in the fatigue regime where the strains are predominately
plastic.
4.5 Fatigue crack propagation test
4.5.1 Stable crack growth rate
Fatigue crack growth rate (da/dn) expressed as a function of crack tip stress
intensity factor range (∆K), characterizes a material’s resistance to stable crack
propagation under cyclic loading. Results from this test together with data on
toughness are used in the prediction of the damage tolerance behaviour
(typically the cycles or service period to grow a crack to a certain crack size, the
maximum permissible crack size and residual strength) and fatigue life
prediction for structural components.
The method covers the determination of stable crack growth rates from near-
threshold propagation regime to controlled crack propagation instability.
Results are expressed in terms of da/dn versus ∆K.
14
---------------------- Page: 16 ----------------------
SIST EN 16602-70-45:2015
EN 16602-70-45:2014 (E)
4.5.2 Crack propagation threshold
Although the fatigue-crack propagation threshold (∆Kth) is defined as the
asymptotic value of ∆K at which da/dn approaches zero, an operational, though
arbitrary, definition of ∆Kth is given for most materials. This value is defined as
∆K, which corresponds to a specified fatigue crack growth rate (typically for
-8
crack growth rates of 10 m/cycle or less).
It is found that the propagation threshold behaviour of long cracks can be
described in terms of stress ratio (R) as well as in terms of maximum stress
intensity Kmax, (see references [1], [2] and [3] in Annex D). From a practical point
of view, testing at constant Kmax allows to proceed faster compared to testing at
constant R, since load history effects are generally negligible. The approach is
based on the observation that for many alloys ∆Kth vs. Kmax relationships show a
quasi-linear dependency above certain Kmax values. Similarly, Kmax vs. R
relationships at low R values can be approximated by linear relations.
Under the assumption of linear dependence, ∆Kth vs. Kmax or Kmax vs. R,
relations for a material can be determined by a relatively low number of tests.
Accordingly the requirement section covers two methods to determine the
fatigue crack propagation threshold for metallic materials:
Determination of an operational value of ∆Kth) according to ASTM E 647.
Determination of (∆Kth) by testing at constant Kmax.
4.6 Fracture and fatigue test in special environment
Fatigue and crack propagation behaviour of metallic materials exposed to
gaseous or liquid environments can differ from that exhibited in air. Test results
obtained from fatigue and fracture tests in environments representative of the
service conditions are used to evaluate the influence of specific environments
on the material behaviour.
The method covers tests to determine the influence of environments
representative of service conditions on the fatigue and fracture behaviour of
metallic materials.
4.7 Stress corrosion cracking test
4.7.1 Overview
The test refers to methods for the determination of the susceptibility of metallic
materials to stress corrosion cracking.
4.7.2 Stress corrosion cracking test using smooth
specimens
The results of this tests are used to classify alloys, weldments and their
individual heat treatment conditions with respect to the material resistance
15

against stress corrosion cracking. When sufficient stress corrosion data exists
the alloy designation can be submitted for inclusion into relevant tables
contained in ECSS-Q-ST-70-36.
The method covers the determination of the susceptibility of metals and
weldments to stress corrosion cracking by alternate immersion in 3,5 % sodium
chloride water solution under constant load.
4.7.3 Stress corrosion cracking test using pre-
cracked specimens
This test method allows the determination of the threshold stress intensity
factor value for stress corrosion cracking KISCC, and the kinetics of crack
propagation.
The use of pre-cracked specimens acknowledges the fact that defects introduced
during manufacturing and subsequent services are always present in real
structures. Furthermore, the presence of such defects can cause a susceptibility
to stress corrosion cracking, which in some materials (e.g. titanium alloys) is not
always evident from tests conducted on smooth specimens.
This test method covers preparing and testing of pre-cracked specimens for
investigating susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking of metallic materials.
4.8 Creep test
The results of this test method are used to assess the load-carrying ability of a
material at high temperatures for limited deformations and as a function of
time. The test provides information to assess the suitability of materials for high
temperature structural applications.
The method covers the determination of the amount of deformation as a
function of time (creep test) and of the time for fracture to occur (rupture test) in
materials subjected to constant tensile forces at constant temperature.
4.9 Test results presentation
Before results obtained from mechanical tests can be applied with confidence,
allowable values are statistically determined. The applicability of statistical
methods to the evaluation of numerical results depends on:
• the number of tests performed on a specific materia

Principles
4.1 Overview
This Standard specifies requirements to conduct tests in order to characterize
mechanical behaviour and properties of metallic materials. Selection criteria of
mechanical tests are based on the significance and use of each specified test
method. Test methods, which are covered in this Standard, are characterized in
the following paragraphs.
4.2 Tensile test
Tensile tests provide information on the strength and ductility of materials
under uniaxial tensile stresses. Test results can be used in comparing materials,
alloy development, design and quality control. The test method covers the
tension testing of metallic materials in any form at room temperature, and
specifically the methods determine yield strength, yield point elongation,
tensile strength, elongation and reduction of area.
4.3 Fracture toughness test
4.3.1 Overview
This test refers to methods to determine fracture toughness of metallic materials
using the following parameters: stress intensity factor (K), J-integral (J), R-curve
and crack tip opening displacement (CTOD). The fracture toughness
determined in accordance with this method is for opening mode (Mode I) of
loading.
4.3.2 Determination of fracture toughness using
the K test method
Ic
This method provides the measurement of crack-extension resistance at the
start of a crack extension for slow rates of loading and when the crack-tip

FprEN 16602-70-45:2014 (E)
plastic zone is small compared to both the crack size and to the specimen
dimension in the direction of the constraint.
The method covers the determination of linear elastic plane-strain fracture
toughness (KIc) of metallic materials by tests using a variety of fatigue-
precracked specimens.
4.3.3 Determination of fracture toughness using
the J test method
Ic
This method provides the measurement of crack-extension resistance near the
onset of stable crack extension for slow rates of loading and substantial plastic
deformation.
The method covers the determination of the J-integral plane-strain fracture
toughness (JIc) of metallic materials.
4.3.4 Characterization of fracture toughness
using the R-curve test method
This method provides a characterization of the resistance to fracture of metallic
materials during incremental slow stable crack extension and result from
growth of the plastic zone as the crack extends from a sharp notch. Materials
that can be tested for R-curve development are not limited by strength,
thickness, or toughness provided that specimens are of sufficient size to remain
predominantly elastic.
The method covers the determination of resistance to fracturing of metallic
materials by R-curves obtained by testing compact tension specimens C(T) or
middle tension specimens M(T).
4.3.5 Characterization of fracture toughness
using the CTOD test method
This test method provides a characterization of the fracture toughness of
metallic materials and is used for materials that exhibit a change from ductile to
brittle behaviour with decreasing temperature. This method is also used to
characterize the toughness of materials for which the properties and thickness
of interest preclude the determination of KIc fracture toughness in accordance
with ASTM E 399.
The specimen dimensions can affect the values of CTOD. For this reason
specimens of same dimensions are used when comparing test results.
The method covers the determination of critical crack tip opening displacement
(CTOD) values at one or more of several crack extension events. These CTOD is
used as measures of fracture toughness for metallic materials.

4.4 Fatigue test
4.4.1 General
Fatigue test refers to tests methods for the determination of fatigue strength of
metallic materials subjected to constant amplitude cycling loading.
4.4.2 Force controlled constant amplitude axial
fatigue test
The force controlled axial fatigue test is used to determine the effect of
variations in stress, material, geometry and surface condition on the fatigue
resistance of materials subjected to fatigue loading. The results can also be used
as a guideline for the selection of metallic materials for service under conditions
of repeated direct stress.
The method covers axial force controlled fatigue tests to obtain the fatigue
strength of materials in the fatigue regime, where the strains are predominately
elastic throughout the test.
4.4.3 Strain-controlled fatigue test
Strain-controlled fatigue is important for situations in which components or
portions of components undergo either mechanically or thermally induced
cyclic plastic strains that cause failure within relatively few cycles (i.e. fatigue
5
life < 10 cycles).
The method covers axial strain-controlled fatigue tests to obtain the fatigue
strength of materials in the fatigue regime where the strains are predominately
plastic.
4.5 Fatigue crack propagation test
4.5.1 Stable crack growth rate
Fatigue crack growth rate (da/dn) expressed as a function of crack tip stress
intensity factor range ( ∆K), characterizes a material’s resistance to stable crack
propagation under cyclic loading. Results from this test together with data on
toughness are used in the prediction of the damage tolerance behaviour
(typically the cycles or service period to grow a crack to a certain crack size, the
maximum permissible crack size and residual strength) and fatigue life
prediction for structural components.
The method covers the determination of stable crack growth rates from near-
threshold propagation regime to controlled crack propagation instability.
Results are expressed in terms of da/dn versus ∆K.

kSIST FprEN 16602-70-45:2014
FprEN 16602-70-45:2014 (E)
4.5.2 Crack propagation threshold
Although the fatigue-crack propagation threshold ( ∆Kth) is defined as the
asymptotic value of ∆K at which da/dn approaches zero, an operational, though
arbitrary, definition of ∆Kth is given for most materials. This value is defined as
∆K, which corresponds to a specified fatigue crack growth rate (typically for
-8
crack growth rates of 10 m/cycle or less).
It is found that the propagation threshold behaviour of long cracks can be
described in terms of stress ratio (R) as well as in terms of maximum stress
intensity Kmax, (see references [1], [2] and [3] in Annex D). From a practical point
of view, testing at constant Kmax allows to proceed faster compared to testing at
constant R, since load history effects are generally negligible. The approach is
based on the observation that for many alloys ∆Kth vs. Kmax relationships show a
quasi-linear dependency above certain Kmax values. Similarly, Kmax vs. R
relationships at low R values can be approximated by linear relations.
Under the assumption of linear dependence, ∆Kth vs. Kmax or Kmax vs. R,
relations for a material can be determined by a relatively low number of tests.
Accordingly the requirement section covers two methods to determine the
fatigue crack propagation threshold for metallic materials:
Determination of an operational value of ∆Kth) according to ASTM E 647.
Determination of ( ∆Kth) by testing at constant Kmax.
4.6 Fracture and fatigue test in special environment
Fatigue and crack propagation behaviour of metallic materials exposed to
gaseous or liquid environments can differ from that exhibited in air. Test results
obtained from fatigue and fracture tests in environments representative of the
service conditions are used to evaluate the influence of specific environments
on the material behaviour.
The method covers tests to determine the influence of environments
representative of service conditions on the fatigue and fracture behaviour of
metallic materials.
4.7 Stress corrosion cracking test
4.7.1 Overview
The test refers to methods for the determination of the susceptibility of metallic
materials to stress corrosion cracking.
4.7.2 Stress corrosion cracking test using smooth
specimens
The results of this tests are used to classify alloys, weldments and their
individual heat treatment conditions with respect to the material resistance
15

against stress corrosion cracking. When sufficient stress corrosion data exists
the alloy designation can be submitted for inclusion into relevant tables
contained in ECSS-Q-ST-70-36.
The method covers the determination of the susceptibility of metals and
weldments to stress corrosion cracking by alternate immersion in 3,5 % sodium
chloride water solution under constant load.
4.7.3 Stress corrosion cracking test using pre-
cracked specimens
This test method allows the determination of the threshold stress intensity
factor value for stress corrosion cracking KISCC, and the kinetics of crack
propagation.
The use of pre-cracked specimens acknowledges the fact that defects introduced
during manufacturing and subsequent services are always present in real
structures. Furthermore, the presence of such defects can cause a susceptibility
to stress corrosion cracking, which in some materials (e.g. titanium alloys) is not
always evident from tests conducted on smooth specimens.
This test method covers preparing and testing of pre-cracked specimens for
investigating susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking of metallic materials.
4.8 Creep test
The results of this test method are used to assess the load-carrying ability of a
material at high temperatures for limited deformations and as a function of
time. The test provides information to assess the suitability of materials for high
temperature structural applications.
The method covers the determination of the amount of deformation as a
function of time (creep test) and of the time for fracture to occur (rupture test) in
materials subjected to constant tensile forces at constant temperature.
4.9 Test results presentation
Before results obtained from mechanical tests can be applied with confidence,
allowable values are statistically determined. The applicability of statistical
methods to the evaluation of numerical results depends on:
• the number of tests performed on a specific material and test conditions,
which should be large enough to constitute a statistically significant
sample;
• the assumption that test data constitute a random sample of (or
representation of) the population of the material under investigation.
