Summary of Test Method 3.1 The essential features of an impact test are: a suitable specimen (specimens of several dillerent types ure recognized), 4 set of anvils, and specimen supports on which the test specimen is placed to receive the blow of the moving mas, a roving mass that has suficent energy to break the specimen placed in is path, and a device for measuring the energy absorbed by the broken specimen. tare Test 4. Significance and Use 4.1 These test methods of impact testing relate specifically to the behavior of metal when subjected to a single application of a force resulting in multi-axial stresses associated with a notch, coupled with high rates of loading and in some cases with high er low temperatures. For some materials and temperatures the resus of impaet tess on notched specimens, when correlated with service experience, have been found 10 predict dhe likelihood of britle fracture accurtely. Further information va significance appears in Appendix XI. '. Precautions in Operation of Machi 5.1 Safety precautions should be tsken to protest personnel from the swinging pendulum, ying broken specimens, and hazards associated with specimen warming and cooling media. 6.

Test Specimens 1.1 Configuration and Orientation: 7.1.1 Specimens shall be taken From the material a8 spec fied by the applicable specification, “1.1.2 The ype of specimen chosen depends largely upon the characteristics ofthe material to be tested. A given specimen ‘may’niot be equally satisfactory for soft nonferrous metals and haedened steels therefore, many types of specimens are recognized In genera, sharper and deeper notches are required to distinguish differences im very ductile materials or wher using low testing velocities “7.1.3 The specimens shown in Figs. 1 and 2 are those most widely used and most generally satisfactory They are particu larly suitable for ferrous metals, excepting east ira” 7.14 The specimens commonly found suitable for powder retallorgy materials are shown in Figs. 3 and 4, Powder ‘etallurgy impact test specimens shall be prodiced following the procedure in Practice B925, The impact test results of these materials are affected by specimen orientation, Therefore, > repr Suhre NV on ge esi of Cmte Sa Cen, 10 Type Ae ‘aaoer 0" a sa bo at Som teat onc Soctsm Cover fh 2) Sven ane ea sae am ‘pe Bane Csresen Sormm ye 2 mon slate an apost tc REA im omer wo sree FIG. 1 Charpy (Simple-Beam) Impact Te Specimens.
