AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, it is difficult to quickly, intuitively, and quantitatively determine the coaxiality between the central axis of a plate tensile specimen and the direction of force loading of the tensile testing machine, which leads to deviations in test data. Furthermore, conventional methods are costly and inefficient, making them difficult to popularize in conventional laboratories.
The coaxiality of a plate-shaped tensile specimen is determined by spraying a peelable coating onto its surface and using the morphology of the clamp marks. The coaxiality fittings are then adjusted to ensure that the central axis of the specimen is coaxial with the direction of force loading. This process includes spraying, clamping, observation, and adjustment until the coaxiality meets the requirements.
This method improves the accuracy of coaxiality determination for plate tensile specimens, reduces additional bending moment and stress, saves laboratory costs, improves determination efficiency, ensures the reliability and traceability of test results, and reduces downtime losses caused by coaxiality deviations.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of tensile test application equipment, in particular to a method for determining whether the central axis of a plate-shaped tensile sample is coaxial with the force loading direction of a tensile testing machine. BACKGROUND
[0002] In material mechanical property testing, tensile test is an important means to evaluate the mechanical properties of metals, composite materials, etc. The coaxiality of the testing machine has a significant impact on the accuracy of the test results. According to the provisions of the national standard GB / T 228.1 "Metallic Materials Tensile Test Part 1: Room Temperature Test Method", the clamping of the sample should be as coaxial as possible to avoid additional stress caused by bending. However, in actual testing process, due to factors such as fixture wear, installation deviation or sample processing error, the central axis of the sample may not be coaxial with the force loading direction of the testing machine, resulting in deviation of the test data.
[0003] In the prior art, wedge, thread or flat pusher collet is usually used with coaxiality accessories (such as positioning sleeve ring, centering block) to ensure coaxiality. However, these accessories inevitably wear, deform or contaminate during long-term and high-frequency use, resulting in gradual decline of positioning accuracy. Once the coaxiality exceeds the allowed range, the tester often cannot find it in time and can only rely on regular calibration or experience adjustment, lacking a quick, intuitive and quantifiable on-site determination method.
[0004] For plate-shaped tensile samples, their width-thickness ratio is large and their stiffness is low, so they are more sensitive to coaxiality error. Currently, there is no determination method for the coaxiality of the central axis of a plate-shaped tensile sample and the force loading direction of a testing machine in domestic and foreign standards and public literature. The existing technology focuses on the coaxiality calibration of circular cross-section samples or relies on expensive external optical / laser centering systems, which is difficult to popularize in conventional laboratories. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for determining whether the central axis of a plate-shaped tensile sample is coaxial with the force loading direction of a tensile testing machine, to improve the coaxiality accuracy of plate-shaped tensile test and ensure that the tensile test data is more real.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present application realizes the following technical scheme:
[0007] The method for determining whether the central axis of a plate-shaped tensile sample is coaxial with the force loading direction of a tensile testing machine comprises:
[0008] S1, confirming the force loading direction of the tensile testing machine;
[0009] S2, positioning the coaxiality accessories of the tensile testing machine;
[0010] S3, spray a detachable coating on the surface of the plate-shaped tensile sample;
[0011] S4, clamp the plate-shaped tensile sample against the coaxiality accessory;
[0012] S5, open the tensile tester clamp and remove the plate-shaped tensile sample, and observe the clamp mark morphology formed by the clamp end of the plate-shaped tensile sample;
[0013] S6, determine whether the tensile central axis of the plate-shaped tensile sample is coaxial with the force loading direction of the tensile tester according to the clamp mark morphology, and the content is as follows:
[0014] If not coaxial, adjust the positioning of the coaxiality accessory according to the deviation of the distance between the centers of concentric circles and the clamp end of the plate-shaped tensile sample;
[0015] Remove the detachable coating on the sample, and repeat steps S2-S6 until the central axis of the plate-shaped tensile sample is coaxial with the force loading direction of the tensile tester, so that the distance between the centers of concentric circles and the clamp end of the plate-shaped tensile sample is the same.
[0016] In S2, the positioning of the tensile tester coaxiality accessory is adjusted to the initial position.
[0017] In S3, the plate-shaped tensile sample surface is sprayed with a detachable coating, which includes a detachable coating and a detachable protective glue.
[0018] In S4, the plate-shaped tensile sample is clamped against the coaxiality accessory, and the sprayed plate-shaped tensile sample is clamped against the tensile tester clamp coaxiality accessory and clamped in the tensile tester clamp.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are:
[0020] 1. By using the visual and quantifiable criterion of "clamp mark morphology-concentric circle center distance", the traditional empirical adjustment can be converted into data adjustment, so that the coaxiality error between the central axis of the plate-shaped tensile sample and the force loading direction of the tester can be controlled, recorded and traced, the additional bending moment and additional stress caused by the coaxiality deviation are effectively reduced, and the coaxiality determination accuracy is significantly improved;
[0021] 2. Only a layer of detachable coating needs to be sprayed on the surface of the sample, and the existing tester clamp can be used to complete the determination; no high-value equipment such as laser centering instrument and optical measurement system is needed, which greatly saves laboratory cost and maintenance cost;
[0022] 3. A single judgment operation (spraying → clamping → releasing → observing → adjusting) can be completed within 3–5 minutes, which is much more efficient than the traditional periodic calibration or external verification method, and is especially suitable for rapid verification before daily or batch testing;
[0023] 4. Through daily or batch routine checks, the wear or contamination status of fixtures and coaxiality components can be detected in real time, allowing for early maintenance or replacement, avoiding "defective" testing, ensuring data reliability, and reducing downtime losses due to sudden failures.
[0024] 5. During the judgment process, the peelable coating allows a single sample to complete the judgment process (spraying → clamping → releasing → observing → adjusting → removing peelable coating → spraying → clamping → releasing → observing → adjusting). After the judgment is completed, the peelable coating is completely removed, and the formal test uses uncoated samples, which eliminates the possible interference of the coating on the friction coefficient, stress concentration and fracture location, ensuring that the test results are pure and reliable.

[0039] If not coaxial, adjust the positioning of the coaxiality accessory according to the deviation of the concentric circle center from the distance (circle) between the two sides of the clamp end of the plate-shaped tensile specimen;
[0040] Remove the peelable coating on the specimen, and repeat steps S2-S6 until the central axis of the plate-shaped tensile specimen is coaxial with the force loading direction of the tensile tester, so that the concentric circle center in the clamp mark morphology is the same distance (i.e. the same number of circles) from the clamp end of the plate-shaped tensile specimen.
