Metallic materials — Sheet and strip — Shear testing for the characterisation of work hardening prEN ISO 25973

Scope

This document details the method for shear testing of metallic materials and procedure to obtain flow curve from this test. It is applicable to monotonous path for large strain and anisotropy characterizations and to reversed path for Bauschinger effect characterization. Fracture characterization is not considered. This standard is not intended nor for sandwich sheet with polymer and other materials except metals nor for assembly characterization (welding, bonding, riveting…).
