Abstract

The article concerns the development of certified reference materials (CRMs) for steel mechanical properties. At present, in mechanical stress measurements, traceability of measurement results is ensured by the standard of time, rather than by the standard of mechanical stress. Therefore, a systematic approach to ensuring the uniformity of mechanical stress measurements requires the development of a reference. The present study is focused on the development and certification of CRMs having a special shape, traceable to SI units of force and length, and intended for transferring a unit of mechanical stress to measuring instruments, where the time-of-flight method of acoustic non-destructive testing is realized on the basis of the acoustoelasticity phenomenon. The key stages of developing CRMs, including the selection of the initial material, performing a homogeneity study, carrying out experimental studies using a certified reference (1st echelon state standard of the force unit), as well as establishing, on the basis of these studies, metrological characteristics of the developed CRMs. As a result of pattern approval tests, the GSO 11,544–2020/11545–2020 set of CRMs for steel mechanical properties was approved. The certified characteristics of the CRMs in the set involve the proportional limit mechanical stress; proof strength, plastic extension 0.2% Rp; tensile strength Rm; modulus of elasticity E. For the CRMs, the relative error of certified values do not exceed 12% at a confidence level of 0.95. The authors believe that, when applied as a reference in the verification schedule, the GSO 11544–2020/11545–2020 CRM set of steel mechanical properties will provide metrological traceability of the results in measuring mechanical stresses by instruments implementing the time-of-flight method of acoustic non-destructive testing.
