[0002] Tensile testing is a routine and important method for testing the mechanical properties of materials. Conventional fixtures are prone to slippage and breakage during the tensile process due to uneven force distribution. With the increasing research focus on the tensile properties of high-strength steels such as gear steel, protective steel, and weathering steel, there is an urgent need for a high-strength steel tensile testing machine fixture to meet the research needs of high-strength steel tensile testing.

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
[0015] See attached document Figure 1-3 A high-strength steel tensile testing machine fixture includes an adapter 1 and an adapter rod 5. Both the adapter 1 and the adapter rod 5 are stepped cylindrical. The smaller diameter end of the adapter 1 and the larger diameter end of the adapter rod 5 are threaded together. The larger diameter end of the adapter 1 is provided with a sample connection screw hole 2 that mates with the sample. The smaller diameter end of the adapter rod 5 is a tensile testing machine connecting rod 8 that mates with the tensile testing machine.
[0016] In this embodiment, refer to the appendix Figure 1-3 A high-strength steel tensile testing machine fixture comprises two parts: an adapter 1 and an adapter rod 5. The adapter 1 is an integral structure consisting of a sample connecting screw hole 2, an adapter transition arc 3, and a connecting thread 4. The adapter rod 5 is an integral structure consisting of a connecting screw hole 6, an adapter rod transition arc 7, and a connecting rod 8.
[0017] See attached document Figure 1-3 The adapter 1 and adapter rod 5 are made of 40CrNiMoA high-strength steel, in which the alloying elements such as carbon, chromium, nickel and molybdenum are incorporated, which significantly improves the hardness, strength and toughness. In addition, after heating at 860℃ for 1 hour, the material is quenched in oil or water, then tempered at 410℃ for 90 minutes, and finally air-cooled to further improve the tensile strength and elongation of the material to meet the tensile test requirements of high-strength steel.
[0018] The transition arc 3 at the adapter has a diameter of 10mm, and the transition arc 7 at the adapter rod has a diameter of 12.5mm. The design of the two transition arcs can make the force evenly distributed during the tensile test, reduce the slippage and breakage problems at the connection between the adapter and the adapter rod and at the connection between the adapter and the tensile sample, and indirectly improve the tensile strength of the fixture.
[0019] The adapter connection thread 2 has a nominal diameter of 12mm and 14mm respectively, which can be selected and replaced according to the size of the tensile test specimen. The screw hole 6 at the connection between the adapter and the adapter rod has a depth of 40mm, which can ensure that the connection length is sufficient and facilitates disassembly and assembly.
[0020] During tensile testing, the fixture is used in pairs, and different sizes of adapter 1 are selected according to the processing dimensions of the tensile specimen. The specimen is connected to the adapter thread 2. The adapter 1 and the adapter rod 5 are connected by thread 4 and screw hole 6. The connecting rod 8 is clamped on the clamping port of the tensile testing machine.
