CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST


CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST

Object: To determine the amount of energy absorbed in fracturing a standardized test piece at a specified temperature.

Method: A machined, notched specimen is broken by one blow from a pendulum. Because scatter occurs in the results, at least three specimens are used to assess the joint represented. Testing is carried out at a temperature specified in the appropriate application standard.

CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST
Reporting Results:
  1. Location and orientation of the notch. 
  2. Testing temperature.
  3. Energy absorbed in joules. 
  4. Description of fracture appearance.
  5. Location of any defects.
CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST

The Charpy impact test, measured in joules, is an assessment of TOUGHNESS. Transition temperature (curve) in steel.

Vickers Hardness Test

Vickers Hardness Test:- The Vickers hardness test method consists of indenting the test material with a diamond indenter, in the form of a right pyramid with a square base and an angle of 136 degrees between opposite faces subjected to a load of I to I 00 kgf. The full load is normally applied for I 0 to 15 seconds. The two diagonals of the indentation left in the surface of the material after removal of the load are measured using a microscope and their average calculated. The area of the sloping surface of the indentation is calculated. The Vickers hardness is the quotient obtained by dividing the kgf load by the square mm area of indentation. F= Load in kgf d = Arithmetic mean of the two diagonals, di and d2 in mm HV = Vickers hardness When the mean diagonal of the indentation has been determined the Vickers hardness may be calculated from the formula, but is more convenient to use conversion tables. The Vickers hardness should be reported like 800 HV/10, which means a Vickers...
