Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically to a T-shaped specimen hardness testing fixture. Background Technology

[0002] T-welding, as a highly efficient joining technology, works by using the heat of an electric arc to melt the tip of the weld stud and the surface of the base metal together, forming a metallurgical bond upon cooling. Performance testing methods for T-welding can be divided into destructive and non-destructive categories. The Vickers hardness test is a commonly used destructive testing method, frequently applied to the inspection of weld cross-sections. This test is primarily used to detect the hardness distribution of the weld and the heat-affected zone, evaluate the presence of localized hardening, assess the microstructure of the heat-affected zone and its susceptibility to cold cracking, and ultimately evaluate the welding process quality and the potential performance of the joint.

[0003] However, due to the unique shape of T-welded specimens and the frequent use of small-diameter bar-shaped steel, such as weld studs, in practical engineering, the hardness test specimens prepared by grinding the weld stud side are typically very thin, only about 2-3 mm thick. When performing Vickers hardness tests on these thin-walled, small specimens, conventional fixing methods cannot provide sufficient rigid support. During the application of the test force, the weld stud side is prone to bending deformation or local collapse. This deformation disrupts the regularity of the indentation, leading to increased measurement errors in the indentation diagonal, ultimately distorting the measured hardness value and affecting the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a T-shaped specimen hardness test fixture that can provide sufficient rigid support for Vickers hardness testing of T-shaped welded specimens, especially small specimens, so that the test can be carried out smoothly.

[0006] This application provides a T-type specimen hardness test fixture, including a base and a reverse thread adjustment shaft. The base has a groove inside, and the left and right sides of the groove are platforms. The reverse thread adjustment shaft passes through the groove from front to back and has threaded sections at the front and back respectively: one is a forward threaded section and the other is a reverse threaded section.

[0007] The forward threaded section is provided with a first clamping slider, the first clamping slider is provided with a first mounting hole, the first mounting hole has an internal thread that mates with the forward threaded section; the reverse threaded section is provided with a second clamping slider, the second clamping slider is provided with a second mounting hole, the second mounting hole has an internal thread that mates with the reverse threaded section.

[0008] The front and rear ends of the reverse threaded adjustment shaft are rotatably connected to the front and rear ends of the base, respectively; it also includes a sample support block, the left and right sides of which are respectively placed on the left and right side platforms of the base.

[0009] To optimize the above technical solution, the specific measures also include:

[0010] The forward thread segment and the reverse thread segment are symmetrical front to back, and the first clamping slider and the second clamping slider are symmetrical front to back.

[0011] The base has through holes at both the front and rear ends, and the reverse threaded adjusting shaft passes through the front and rear through holes.

[0012] Furthermore, at the front and rear ends of the reverse threaded adjusting shaft, one end is a convex shank and the other end is a convex block, and the diameters of both the convex shank and the convex block are larger than the diameter of the through hole.

[0013] A left-protruding movable track is provided between the groove of the base and the left side of the platform, and a right-protruding movable track is provided between the groove of the base and the right side of the platform.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the left and right ends of the first and second clamping sliders are slidably engaged with the left and right protruding movable tracks, respectively.

[0015] The platform is provided with fixing holes for mounting a hardness testing machine.

[0016] Furthermore, the top surface of the middle part of the sample support block is a concave arc surface, which is used to support the welding studs of the T-shaped sample.

[0017] The sample support block has threaded holes on its left and right sides, with bolts inside each hole. The bolts pass through the threaded holes and are supported on the base platform at the bottom.
