Abstract

For the evaluation of final component properties under consideration of production-induced material characteristics, it is necessary to determine the mechanical parameters of parts and structures. Thus, there is a need of new test methods for the material characterization and quality control of produced goods. The miniaturization of the test specimens offers the potential for the local testing of the material properties at almost any position on the component. However, due to the reduction in size of the test specimens, size effects can occur which may affect the material behavior. For this reason, this contribution analyses the influence of size effects on the derived material parameters in dependence of the specimen size and material by using upsetting tests according to DIN 50106:2016 standard. The materials Cu-OFE (copper), X5CrNi18-10 (stainless steel) and AA7075-T6 (aluminum) are investigated to ensure a broad transferability of the findings. The specimens are cut from a bar stock by using a high precision 3D micro electrical discharge milling machining. Due to the small size, every specimen is measured with an optical 3D coordinate measuring system to determine the exact size. Through these investigations, the reproducibility and scatter in the determination of material properties for scaled cylindrical upsetting specimens are evaluated. Furthermore, limits of geometric dimensions at constant aspect ratios are derived. The results of this investigation enable an estimation of the geometrical influence of the specimen size in regard to the mechanical properties.
