Impact Test Sample

The document describes procedures for performing Izod and Charpy impact tests. The Izod test involves placing a notched specimen in a cantilevered position and striking it with a hammer to determine the absorbed energy. The Charpy test uses a similar setup but with a higher capacity machine and larger hammer angle. Both tests are used to assess the shock absorbing capacity of materials subjected to sudden loads. The document provides specifications for the testing machines and sample dimensions.

EXPERIMENT NO.

– 03

AIM:- To study the Impact Testing m/c and Perform Izod impact test.

APPARATUS :- Impact testing m/c, Izod test specimens of mild steel, Aluminium, Vernier caliper,
specimen setting fixture.

THEORY :- In manufacturing locomotive wheels, coins, connecting rods etc. the components are subjected
to impact (shock) loads. These loads are applied suddenly. The stress induced in these components are many
times more than the stress produced by gradual loading. Therefore, impact tests are performed to asses
shock absorbing capacity of materials subjected to suddenly applied loads. These capabilities are expressed
as (i) Rupture energy (ii) Modulus of rupture and (iii) Notch impact strength.
Two types of notch impact tests are commonly-
1. Charpy test
2. Izod test
In Izod test, the specimen is placed as ‘cantilever beam’. The specimens have V-shaped notch of 45°. U-
shaped notch is also common. The notch is located on tension side of specimen during impact loading.
Depth of notch is generally taken as t.5 to t/3 where ‘t’ is thickness of the specimen.

SPECIFICATION OF M/C AND SPECIMEN DETAILS :


Its specifications along-with their typical values are as follows:
• Impact capacity = 164joule
• Least count of capacity (dial) scale = 2joule
• Weight of striking hammer = 18.7 kg.
• Swing diameter of hammer = 1600mm.
• Angle of hammer before striking = 90°
• Distance between supports = 40mm.
• Striking velocity of hammer = 5.6m/sec.
• Specimen size = 75x10x10 mm.
• Type of notch = V-notch
• Angle of notch = 45°
• Depth of notch = 2 mm.

PROCEDURE :-
1. Lift the hammer to an appropriate knife edge position and notch the energy stored in
the hammer. For the standard Izod test the energy stored should be 164j.
2. Locate the test specimen on the m/c supports.
3. Release the hammer. The hammer will break the piece and shoot up the other side of
the specimen.
4. Note the residual energy indicated on the scale by the hammer.
5. Impact strength of the test specimen is the difference of the initial energy stored in
hammer and the residual energy.

OBSERVATION :-

S.No. Initial Energy (E1) Residual Energy (E2) in Absorb Energy (E1-E2)
in joule joule

CALCULATION :-
• Modulus of rupture = Rupture / Effective volume of specimen
• Notch impact strength = Absorb energy / Effective cross section area

PRECAUTIONS :-
1. The specimen should be prepared in proper dimensions.
2. Take reading more frequently.
3. Make the loose pointer in contact with the fixed pointer after setting the pendulum.
4. Do not stand in front of swinging hammer or releasing hammer.
5. Place the specimen proper position.

RESULT :- The impact strength of given specimen = -------joule/mm2

CONCLUSION :-
