Under this manufacturing process, some thin-walled tubes exhibit anisotropic mechanical properties. Under the condition of limited tube length, in order to test the mechanical properties of the tube, a test method using small specimens is required. The small punch technique is a micro-specimen test method, and its standard specimen is a disc with a diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of 0.5 mm.

Subsequently, the displacement sensor 603 can detect the displacement amount of the follower rod 602, thereby realizing the measurement of the displacement of the tubular specimen 7 in the vertical direction after being deformed by force.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4, the sample-changing and force-increasing mechanism 2 includes an installation frame 201. The transmission screw 105 is threadedly connected to the installation frame 201. The installation frame 201 is slidably connected to all three guiding columns 103. A control panel 202 is fixedly installed in the middle of the front end of the installation frame 201. The force sensor 503, the displacement sensor 603, and the control panel 202 are electrically connected. Cylinders 204 are fixedly installed at both ends of the installation frame 201. The output end of the cylinder 204 is equipped with a first connecting rod 207. The output end of the cylinder 204 and the first connecting rod 207 are rotationally connected by a pin. One end of the first connecting rod 207 is equipped with a second connecting rod 208. The first connecting rod 207 and the second connecting rod 208 are rotationally connected by a pin. The two ends of the two second connecting rods 208 far from the first connecting rod 207 are fixedly connected to both ends of the flipping and positioning plate 203. The flipping and positioning plate 203 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the installation frame 201, so that the two cylinders 204 push the first connecting rod 207 and drive the flipping and positioning plate 203 to flip relative to the installation frame 201 through the second connecting rod 208. At this time, it is convenient to synchronously sample and lay out multiple tubular specimens 7;

[0040] A plurality of DC servo motors 206 are fixedly installed on the upper end surface of the flipping and positioning plate 203. The upper end of the DC servo motor 206 is fixedly installed with a motor support seat 205. The plurality of motor support seats 205 and the testing mechanism 3 are arranged in an array on the upper end surface of the flipping and positioning plate 203. The output end of the DC servo motor 206 penetrates through the motor support seat 205 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the transmission pressing block 501, so that the DC servo motor 206 performs synchronous testing operations on the tubular specimen 7 under the support of the motor support seat 205 through the force measuring mechanism 5.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 9 , the force-displacement curve obtained by testing the tubular specimen 7 can be divided into four stages, namely the elastic deformation stage (I), the plastic deformation stage (II), the film stretching stage (III), and the plastic instability and fracture stage (IV). The yield strength ( ) and the tensile strength ( ) of the tubular specimen 7 are:

[0042] ;

[0043] ;

[0044] Where is the initial thickness of the tubular specimen 7, is the maximum load during the testing process of the tubular specimen 7, is the displacement of the follower rod 602, and are correlation coefficients depending on the testing of the tubular specimen 7, is the elastic-plastic transition force.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 10 , The value of can be obtained by the method specified in the European Union standard EN10372 or the American standard ASTM E3205. According to the method specified in the European Union standard EN10372, the elastic-plastic transition force is fitted by the following bilinear equations:[[]]

[0046] ;

[0047] where is the elastic-plastic transition force, is the displacement at , is the initial thickness of the tubular specimen 7 , is the load at . The parameters , and of the bilinear equations are determined by minimizing the fitting error, and the fitting error can be calculated by the following formula:[[]]

[0048] ;

[0049] When the fitting error reaches the minimum, is the elastic-plastic transition force measured by the method specified in the European Union standard EN10372 , denoted as ;

[0050] After finding the minimum fitting error to determine , the American standard ASTM E3205 proposes to draw a vertical line downward through the intersection point A of two linear curves, which intersects the load-displacement curve obtained from the small punch test at point C. At this time, the load value corresponding to point C is obtained by the American standard ASTM E3205, denoted as .

[0051] In use, when performing a small punch test on a thin-walled tube, the thin-walled tube is processed into a tubular specimen 7 by wire cutting. If the thickness h of the tubular specimen 7 is much larger than 0.5 mm, a thinning treatment is required. After turning on the power, the lower clamp 402 and the upper clamp 403 are separated in the initial state. Start the two cylinders 204, so that the two cylinders 204 push the first connecting rod 207 and drive the flipping positioning plate 203 to flip relative to the mounting frame 201 through the second connecting rod 208. At this time, it is convenient to synchronously place multiple tubular specimens 7 inside the lofting arc groove 405. Furthermore, the positioning arc bar 406 can position the end of the tubular specimen 7, thereby ensuring the accurate placement of the tubular specimen 7;

[0052] Reset the flipping positioning plate 203 relative to the mounting frame 201. Start the driving motor 106, so that the driving motor 106 drives the sample-changing and force-applying mechanism 2 to move downward outside the three guiding columns 103 under the support of the connecting frame 104 through the driving screw 105. Furthermore, the flipping positioning plate 203 synchronously drives multiple force measuring mechanisms 5 to move downward through the upper clamp 403. The lower clamp 402 can perform a positioning and clamping operation with the upper clamp 403 through multiple positioning columns 404. At this time, the bottom end of the arc-headed punch 504 penetrates through the upper clamp 403 and is in close contact with the upper end surface of the tubular specimen 7. The follower rod 602 can be in close contact with the middle of the lower end surface of the tubular specimen 7 under the support of the support spring 604 through the limit piece 605. The two waist-shaped holes 8 are symmetrically installed relative to the axis of the arc-headed punch 504;

[0053] Synchronously start multiple DC servo motors 206, so that the DC servo motors 206 perform a synchronous test operation on the tubular specimen 7 through the force measuring mechanism 5 under the support of the motor support base 205. Among them, a force sensor 503 is provided between the driving pressure block 501 and the arc-headed punch 504, so that the control panel 202 can measure and display the force applied by the arc-headed punch 504 to the tubular specimen 7 through the force sensor 503. Furthermore, it is convenient to test the loads received by multiple tubular specimens 7. An arc-shaped contact surface 502 is provided at the bottom end of the arc-headed punch 504, and the arc-shaped contact surface 502 is in complete close contact with the surface of the impact area 701. In this way, it can effectively maintain uniform pressurization of the impact area 701 of the arc-headed punch 504 on the tubular specimen 7;

[0054] During the test of the tubular specimen 7, the tubular specimen 7 deforms and presses down on the follower rod 602. Then, when the follower rod 602 moves downward, it drives the support spring 604 to compress through the limit piece 605. Subsequently, the displacement sensor 603 can detect the displacement of the follower rod 602, thereby realizing the measurement of the displacement of the tubular specimen 7 in the vertical direction, facilitating the axial tensile performance test operation of multiple thin-walled tubes. After the test is completed, the multiple tubular specimens 7 can be replaced by separating the lower fixture 402 and the upper fixture 403. Moreover, the follower rod 602 can automatically reset under the support of the support spring 604 through the limit piece 605, thus facilitating the repeated testing of the tubular specimen 7.
