Introduction

1. Standard Overview

GB/T 8363—2018 "Drop-Weight Tear Test Method for Steel" is an important national standard used to evaluate the tearing properties of steel under specific conditions. This standard replaces the previous GB/T 8363—2007 and has made a number of improvements and extensions to the test method.

2. Standard Updates

Serial Number Changes Modification Notes
1 Standard Name Modification Changed from "Drop-Weight Tear Test Method for Ferritic Steel" to a test method applicable to a wider range of steels.
2 New terms and definitions Definitions of terms such as total absorbed energy, crack initiation energy and crack growth energy have been added.
3 Requirements for specimen support Requirements to prevent specimen shaking have been added to ensure the accuracy of the test results.

3. Test Principle and Methods

The drop weight tear test (DWTT) tests the drop weight tear performance of steel by breaking a specimen in a simply supported beam state with a one-time impact force. The main indicators include shear area percentage (SA%), total absorbed energy (Eell), crack initiation energy (Ei) and crack growth energy (Ep).

4. Implementation Suggestions

Precautions when implementing DWTT test:

  • Ensure that the test equipment meets the energy requirements, and the hammer blade hardness and curvature radius meet the standards.
  • The shear deformation zone and heat-affected zone should be removed during specimen preparation to avoid affecting the test results.
  • Select the appropriate notch type (pressed notch or herringbone notch) according to different materials.
