Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10275 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 164, Mechanical testing of metals, Subcommittee
SC 2, Ductility testing.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10275:1993), which has been technically
revised.

Introduction
In the former version of this International Standard, for the calculation of the true strain, the elastic strain did
not need to be subtracted from the total strain if it was lower than 10 % of the total strain.
In this new International Standard, the elastic strain is subtracted from the total strain for calculation of the true
strain, which is now referred to as “true plastic strain”.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10275:2007(E)

Metallic materials — Sheet and strip — Determination of tensile
strain hardening exponent
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for determining the tensile strain hardening exponent n of flat
products (sheet and strip) made of metallic materials.
The method is valid only for that part of the stress-strain curve in the plastic range where the curve is
continuous and monotonic (see 7.4).
In the case of materials with a serrated stress-strain curve in the work hardening range (materials which show
the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect, e.g. AlMg-alloys) the automatic determination (linear regression of the
logarithm true stress vs. the logarithm true plastic strain, see 7.7) should be used to give reproducible results.
