MEASURE THE MATERIAL’S TOUGHNESS BY HAMMERING TILL FRACTURE
Charpy impact value represents the ability of a material to absorb energy, usually determined under impact loading. The Charpy impact test specimen is supported at both ends, and a pendulum strikes in the middle of the specimen on the unnotched side.
The Charpy impact specimen is the most widely used method for characterising steel’s ductile-to-brittle transition behaviour. These specimens may be tested at different temperatures. The impact toughness at each test temperature may be determined by the energy absorbed during fracture, the shear percentage on the fracture surface, or the change in the width of the specimen (lateral expansion).
The Charpy impact test is widely used because it is inexpensive and relatively simple. It is commonly used as a screening test in procurement and quality assurance for metallic products.
Professional Testing Services provides the Charpy impact test services following multiple International standards for metallic materials. Our laboratory can conduct the test from room temperature to various sub-zero temperatures.
