Charpy Impact Testers
Are you looking for reliable and easy instruments to test the impact strength of your materials and products? Do you want to ensure they can withstand high strain rates and dynamic loading conditions?
Do you want to comply with the international standards and regulations for impact testing? The answer to all these crucial questions is Charpy Tester!
The Charpy Impact Tester measures the impact strength of materials and components under high strain rates. The impact energy W determined in the Charpy Impact Test is measured in Joules to give proper data for the absorbed energy. Charpy Testing is essential for evaluating product ductile and brittle failure, quality, performance, and more.
Test Machines Australia is Charpy Impact Testers' leading supplier and service provider. We offer a variety of instruments for the Charpy Pendulum Impact Test for any test method to suit your testing needs and applications. All our Charpy Impact Testing Machines offer accurate measurements in Joules.
Charpy Testing Procedure
You need to know the right procedure for the Charpy Impact Test to serve you well. Here is the test method for Charpy pendulum impact tester that you must follow:
- The charpy impact test specimen is prepared according to the standard dimensions and notch geometry.
- The specimen is placed across parallel jaws in the pendulum impact testing machine. The notch should face the direction of the pendulum swing.
- The pointer of the intruments for notched bar impact testing is set to its maximum value, and the pendulum is lifted to its starting position. The test machine should be calibrated before the test.
- The pendulum is released and strikes the specimen for determination. The impact force fractures the specimen, and the pendulum swing continues to the other side.
- The pointer indicated the final height of the pendulum. The difference between the initial and final heights is used to calculate the pendulum impact energy absorbed by the specimen.
- The fracture surface of the specimen is examined via the charpy v notch test to determine the mode of fracture and the percentage of shear area.
- The test is repeated for at least three specimens from the same batch, and the average impact energy is calculated.
Benefits of Charpy Impact Testing
Many industry experts prefer Charpy impact test due to the advantages it offers. Here are some of the benefits of Charpy impact test:
- It is a cost-effective, easy-to-form test method that provides fast and reliable quantitative and qualitative results.
- It helps to assess the quality and performance of metallic materials and products under impact loading conditions.
- It helps to evaluate the effect of temperature, notch, and strain rate on the brittle fracture behaviour of metallic materials.
- It helps to determine the ductile-brittle transition temperature of materials, which is important for selecting suitable metallic materials for low-temperature applications.
- It helps to compare the impact strength of different metallic materials and products and to optimise their design and fabrication.
Impact testing by Charpy impact tester is widely used in various industries, such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and biomedical, to ensure the safety and reliability of materials and products.
