The Charpy-V method tests the impact strength of a material by dropping a pendulum on a test rod of the material. It is also possible to determine whether the fracture was brittle or ductile by examining the fracture surface.
Purpose
The impact toughness of a material describes how well the material can withstand a hastily imposed load or stroke. This can be dependent on many different things, such as for example temperature.
For applications where the material will be exposed to sudden loads, it is important to know the material's impact toughness.
Method
The impact toughness is measured by means of a Charpy-V, Alpha, type 30 M 401, S No. 10475. (The machine is calibrated at 22 ° C.)
Deliveries
After successful testing, the customer provides the result in the form of a report or other document.
