Conventionally processed powder metallurgy materials often exhibit open microporosity at the surface. While it is a natural part of the process, this microporosity can affect the measurement of surface finishes. To cover this and other issues that arise from measuring the surface finish of powder metallurgy, ASTM International Committee B09 on Metal Powders and Metal Powder Products has developed…

Many structures, such as aircraft or other lightweight vehicles, are made from thin-ductile structural materials that exhibit low crack-front constraint, which allows for extensive plastic yielding of the material around a crack front. However, many current standards, such as E 399, Test Method for Linear-Elastic Plane-Strain Fracture Toughness K Ic of Metallic Materials, or E 1820, Test Method…
