The invention discloses an application method of an adjustable wedge-shaped chuck for tensile strength tests. The application method comprises the following steps: S1, a wedge-shaped clamp plate is mounted in a clamp body opening, a wedge-shaped clamp port is formed in an inner concave part of the wedge-shaped clamp plate, an ejection rod is mounted above the wedge-shaped clamp plate, mounting grooves are formed in two ends of the inner concave part of the wedge-shaped clamp plate, a guide rod and a spring are mounted in the wedge-shaped clamp port, and the guide rod is inserted into the mounting grooves; S2, the ejection rod is started upwards to eject the wedge-shaped clamp plate up, and a test piece is placed into the wedge-shaped clamp port; S3, the ejection rod presses the wedge-shaped clamp plate, two sides of the wedge-shaped clamp plate are folded along an included angle beta, and the wedge-shaped clamp port is driven to clamp the test piece; S4, the S3 is repeated to clamp the other end of the test piece; S5, the two sides of the wedge-shaped clamp plate are opened along the wedge-shaped included angle beta, the extrusion force of the wedge-shaped clamp plate on the wedge-shaped clamp port is removed simultaneously, at the moment, the test piece is loosened by the wedge-shaped clamp port, and one tensile test process is finished. The wedge-shaped clamp plate has wider application range, the test piece is easy to clamp and dismount, the clamp port is high in self-locking performance, and the locking effect is good.
