EXPERIMENT NO:5

AIM: To determine toughness of given Specimen using Charpy Impact test. APPARATUS: Charpy Impact Machine, specimen. THEORY: The Vickers Hardness Test was deve oped in !ng and in "#$% &y Smith ' Sand and at Vickers (td. The Vickers Test two distinct force range, micro )"*g to "***g+ and macro )",g to "$*,g+, to cover a testing re-uirement. The indenter is same for &oth ranges. PROCEDURE: ". .i/ up the Charpy test & ock on Charpy shrinkage p ace the specimen on the support. $. 0 ign centre of specimen notch with centre of specimen &y means of Charpy setting gauge. 1. Touch striker to test specimen notch and ad2ust indicating pointer on 1**3 4. (ift the pendu um at "$* from specimen &y hand p ace there with ock. %. 5e ease pendu um from that position to hit the specimen ' a ow ever to swing free y. 6. 0fter swing, stop pendu um &y &rake. SAFETY PRECAUTION: ". Machine shou d &e insta ed in such a way that swinging range shou d not pro2ect in space su&2ected to traffic. $. 7orking p ace is to &e safe against hitting &y soup of &roken e ements. 1. Correct striker and strikes support shou d &e used. 4. Confirm tightness of ifting screw support striker. %. 8o not operate machine if re ease m9c is fau ty.
