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 in findi
