Title

Mechanical Testing of PM Parts using Sub-Size Specimens

Abstract

Mechanical properties testing of PM parts is complicated due to a number of factors, such as the relatively small size of most parts as well as variable density with location on a part. Typically tensile testing requires molding test specimens which have similar material compositions, but different densities and pore distributions. Hence current methods of testing often do not represent actual properties of PM parts. Smaller sub-size tensile specimens have been developed to look into local tensile properties in friction stir welds and laser deposited materials. This paper looks at the usability of specimens of this size for the measurement and validation of PM parts. PM parts with variations in density from location to location have been used to examine the accuracy and repeatability of sub-size specimens for application in the study and validation of PM material components.
