This SAE Recommended Practice describes a method for measuring Roughness Average (Ra) and Peak Count (PC) and other variables of the surface of metallic coated and uncoated steel sheet/strip.
Hardness testing with files consists essentially of cutting or abrading the surface of metal parts, and approximating the hardness by the feel, or extent to which, the file bites into the surface. The term "file hard" means that the surface hardness of the parts tested is such that a new file of proven hardness will not cut the surface of the material being tested.
These test procedures were developed based upon the knowledge that steel panel dent resistance characteristics are strain rate dependent. The “quasi-static” section of the procedure simulates real world dent phenomena that occur at low indenter velocities such as palm-printing, elbow marks, plant handling, etc. The indenter velocity specified in this section of the procedure is set to minimize material strain rate effects. The dynamic section of the procedure simulates loading conditions that occur at higher indenter velocities, such as hail impact, shopping carts, and door-to-door parking lot impact. Three dent test schedules are addressed in this procedure. Schedule A is for use with a specified laboratory prepared (generic) panel, Schedule B is for use with a formed automotive outer body panel or assembly, and Schedule C addresses end product or full vehicle testing.
Powder metal (P/M) parts are manufactured by pressing metal powders to the required shape in a precision die and sintering to produce metallurgical bonds between the particles, thus generating the appropriate mechanical properties. The shape and mechanical properties of the part may be subsequently modified by repressing or by conventional methods such. as machining and/or heat treating. While powder metallurgy embraces a number of fields wherein metal powders may be used as raw materials, this standard is concerned primarily with information relating to mechanical components and bearings produced from iron-base materials.
This SAE Recommended Practice defines the set-up and procedure for conducting the SAE Single Tooth Bending Fatigue Test. The details of the test fixture to be used (referred henceforth as “the test fixture” in this document) and gear test sample and the procedures for testing and analyzing the data are presented in this document.

This recommended practice defines, illustrates, and specifies allowable limits for the various types of surface discontinuities that may occur during the manufacture and processing of metric-series nuts, in sizes 6.3 to 25 mm and inch-series nuts in sizes ¼ to 1 in., inclusive, which are primarily intended for use in automotive assemblies.
