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.

Part -4 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions with answer 1.          What is Difference between stamina and strength? Ans.     Strength is capability over a short length of time and Stamina is the ability to keep going continuously. 2.          What is Hydro-static System? Ans.     Hydrostatics is the study of fluid bodies that are At rest Moving su ffi cient slowly so there is no relative motion between adjacent parts of the body For hydrostatic situations There are no shear stresses There are only pressure forces that act perpendicular to any surface. It’s a closed loop hydraulic systems. It comprises of motor and pump. Here pump supplies energy to motor and motor gives return energy to pump supply. 3.          What is Cotter joint? Ans.      A cotter j...

LIQUID (DYE) PENETRATION TEST (D.P.T.)

LIQUID (DYE) PENETRATION TEST INTRODUCTION A liquid penetrant test is non-destructive type of testing to detect flaws that are open to the surface. e.g. cracks, seams, laps, lack of bond, porosity, cold shuts etc. can be effectively used not only in the inspection of ferrous metals but is especially useful for non-ferrous metal products and on non-porous, non-metallic materials such as ceramics, plastics and glass. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The principle of liquid penetrant test is that the liquids used enter small openings such as cracks or porosities by capillary action. They are influenced by factors such as the condition of the surface of material and the interior of the discontinuity. For liquid to penetrate effectively, the surface of the material must be thoroughly cleaned of all material that would obstruct the entrance of the liquid into the defect. After cleaning, the liquid penetrant is applied evenly over the surface and allowed to remain long enough to permit penetration i...
