METHOD FOR BRAZE STRENGTH TESTING OF


1 I COAL AND ROCK CUTTING TOOLS WITH
El
LAID-ON TUNGSTEN-CARBIDE TIPS

1. Scope - Lays down the method for testing and examination of the brazed surfaces on coal and
rock-cutting tools with laid-on tungsten-carbide tips.

2. Testing Procedure

2.1 Apparatus - Apparatus for the test shall consist of jig ( a typical design is shown in Fig. 1 ) and
testing machine in which the tool to be tested may be held rigidly in such a way that a load is applied
through a plunger to the side of the tip, adjacent to the braze.

_____-_

SQ 10 PLUNGER

SECTION AA

All dimensions in millimetres.


FIG. 1 TYPICAL TEST JIG

2.1.1 During the test, appreciable deflection of the plunger shall not take place and the plunger
shall not contact the tool body during the test.

21.2 The apparatus shall be so constructed that the tool under test may be held rigidly so that :

a) the tool does not deflect;


b) ;ti;;icII;f the tip on which the load is to be applied is normal to the direction of the
,
C) the brazed faces are parallel with respect to the direction of the applied load.

2.1.3 The load shall be applied uniformly over all the area of the side of the tip. In case it is
difficult to achieve this condition, it is permissible to apply the load along a line parallel to end
immediately adjacent to the carbide/braze interface.

2.1.4 The plunger shall have an adequate bearing area on its guide bush so as to be free from any
tendency to rock.

2.2 Preparation of Sample - The tools to be tested shall be ground on one or both sides so as to
ensure that they will fit properly into the jig and that it will be possible to apply the load normally to
the side of the tip in accordance with 2.1 .l to 2.1.4. Care shall be taken during the preparation of
the sample to prevent the generation of excessive heat which may affect the strength of the braze.

2.3 Method of Test - The tools shall be held normally in the jig and the load shall be applied on
the tip of the tool through the plunger in accordance with 2.1. The load shall be applied at a rate
within the range of 20 kN/min and 100 kN/min. The rate of the loading shall be such that the tests
take not less than 60 seconds from the application of the load. The load shall be applied at this rate
till the fracture occurs.

3. Assessment of Results - Brazing shall be assumed to be of good quality if :

4 the fracture takes place substantially through the braze alloy;

b) after shearing, the surfaces show adequate wetting of the tungsten:carbide and the steel; and

4 the shear strength calculated on dividing applied load by the total area of the brazing
between the tip and the tool body shall be not less than the strength specified for the
individual standard.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This standard lays down the method for testing braze strength of the coal and rock-cutting
tools with laid-on tungsten-carbide tips. Although this method is an arbitrary method for testing the
quality of the brazing but as the shear strength of the brazed joint is an important factor in the
performance of the cutting tools, it is expected that the testing of the tools by this method will help
in the assessment of the quality of the brazing in the tools.

While preparing this standard, considerable assistance has been derived from NCB Specification
No. 541/l 969 ’ Braze strength testing of coal and rock cutting tools with laid-on tungsten-carbide tips ’
issued by the National Coal Board, London,
