Essential Features and Uses of Charpy Impact Testing

The reason behind performing the Charpy impact testing is to understand the overall energy that has been absorbed by the material during fracture. Widely called a Charpy V-notch test, the testing process involves striking a given specimen using a weighted pendulum that gets swung at a desirable height. This type of impact testing method is commonly followed in many different industries as it is the best possible way to prepare the right materials.  Widely acknowledged features of  Charpy impact testing : Charpy test showcases if a metal is ductile or brittle. These kinds of classification are highly used with the ferric type of steels, which tend to showcase them as ductile or brittle. Brittle metal, after passing through the required impact test, absorbs only minimum energy. Ductile metal absorbs higher energy levels. A generated fracture surface does provide information co-related to the type of fracture surface created through the process. The appearance is highly noted...

A Brief Introduction to Charpy Impact Testing

Charpy Impact Tester is a laboratory testing machine that reveals the amount of energy absorbed by a material during fracture. This absorbed energy is an assessment of the available strength or toughness of material. Eventually, it is designed to determine whether the material is brittle or ductile in nature. Universities, automotive and aerospace companies, research laboratories and steel manufacturers are typical users for impact testing systems. An overview of Charpy Impact testing Salient Features A Charpy Impact Tester is a high-performance machine that has a pendulum with a defined length and mass. It is ideal for testing metals to Charpy and Izod standards of 150 Joules capacity. The key features of the impact tester are as follows: ·          Attachments Accessories for Charpy Impact Testing are easily fit into the machine unit. Each test requires a specific fixture, hammers and specimen adapters. ·    ...
