EXPERIMENT 6

Impact Testing of Materials: Charpy Impact test


Aim: To determine the impact resistance of a notched metal specimen according to
ASTM standards.

Apparatus: U-notched specimen, Swing pendulum Impact Testing Machine

Theory:

Impact test is undoubtedly the most used test that is performed to characterize the
ductile to brittle transition behavior in materials. The impact test is done by placing
a square shaped V-notched specimen in the machine. Generally, the Charpy
specimen has a square cross-section of dimensions 10mm ´ 10mm ´ 55mm and
contains a U - notch of 2/5 mm deep. A heavy pendulum released from a known
height strikes the sample on its downward swing and fractures it. After the test bar
is broken, the pendulum rebounds to a height that decreases as the energy
absorbed in fracture increases. The mass of the pendulum and the difference
between its initial and final heights helps to measure the energy absorbed by the

fracture.

Fig: Charpy Specimen as per ASTM standards


Procedure:

1. A Charpy V-notch specimen is placed across parallel jaws in the impact-testing


machine
2. The pointer is being set up to its maximum value.
3. The hammer is released from the initial height downward towards the sample.
4. Observations and the energy absorbed is recorded and tabulated.
5. Step 1-3 is repeated for another type of metal

Conclusion:

Energy absorbed of the specimen in impact testing is determined. The ------------------ is the
toughest material identified from the experiment.

Questions:

1. Comment on the fracture surface of the specimens and their behavior after
failure.
