Scope

This standard specifies the geometry of the test specimens and the procedure for the tensile shear testing of single mechanical joints on single and multi-layer specimens up to a single sheet thickness of 4,5 mm. The term sheet, as used in this standard, includes extrusions and cast materials. The purpose of the tensile shear test is to determine the mechanical characteristics and failure types of the joints made with the different methods.

Test equipment and test procedure

The test specimen is clamped in a tensile testing machine according to ISO 7500-1, in such a manner, that the clamps are at the required distance from one another. For sheet thicknesses > 1 mm or where the ratio of the thicknesses is >1,4, shim plates shall be used for clamping the test specimen in the grips of the tensile testing machine to ensure load concentricity (see Figure 3 b) and c)). Shim plates can be joined by suitable joining method, e.g. resistance spot welding, adhesive bonding. Testing shall be carried out at room temperature. The speed of testing is 10 mm/min.
NOTE If tests at higher speeds show that the higher testing speed has no influence on the test results, then the higher testing speed may be used for the tensile shear tests.

The elongation shall be measured as the displacement of the crosshead or by using extension calliper gauges, laser measuring equipment or other suitable extension sensors with a defined length directly on the specimen. Measurements made using signals from the crosshead should, if necessary, be corrected by taking the stiffness of the machine into consideration. The sensing method used and the defined length of the specimen measured shall be recorded in the test report. Tests results are comparable only when the tests are carried out under identical boundary conditions.

Corresponding diagrams for force fit joints can exhibit slippage before the yield point. In addition different diagrams can be the result of different combinations of joining methods, sheet materials and thicknesses, as well as specimen geometries.

Annex A (normative)
Types of joint failure

A.1 General
Depending on the joining technology, different types of failure can occur. Some of these are specific to the joining technology employed and should be recorded in the test report. Typical failure modes for clinch, self piercing rivet and screwed joints are shown, by way of example, in Figures A.1 to A.8. Criteria for a failure of a mechanical joint are to be agreed between contracting parties. Following figures give typical failure modes at the end of the test.
