About the Course:
This courses covers the test methods that describe notched-bar impact testing of metallic materials by the Charpy (simple-beam) test and the Izod (cantilever-beam) test. The course covers the requirements for: test specimens, test procedures, test reports, test machines verifying Charpy impact machines, optional test specimen configurations, designation of test specimen orientation, and determining the percent of shear fracture on the surface of broken impact specimens.
In addition, information is provided on the significance of notched-bar impact testing, and methods of measuring the center of strike.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Determine the impact strength of a metal
- Predict the likelihood of brittle fracture accurately
- Explain the Charpy and Izod test approaches
- Summarize the procedural steps required to determine the absorbed energy of metallic materials by notched bar impact testing
Audience:
Anyone who runs the E23 test method or who needs an understanding of the test method and how it is properly run.
