ASTM E23 Notched Bar Impact Testing of Metallic Materials

ASTM E23 test methods explain the Charpy (simple-beam) and Izod (cantilever-beam) tests for notched-bar impact testing o f metallic materials. The importance of notched-bar impact testing and procedures for evaluating the center of the strike are provided in these standard test methods. The values expressed in SI units are considered standard.... Read More

    Scope:

    The standard test method of ASTM E23 tells about 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 instances, high or low temperatures.

    Procedure:

    In ASTM E23, a suitable specimen, a set of anvils, and specimen supports on which the test specimen is placed to receive the blow of the moving mass, a moving mass with sufficient energy to break the specimen placed in its path, and a device for measuring the energy absorbed by the broken specimen are the essential features of an impact test.

    Specimen size:

    For ASTM E23, the testing machine is of robust structure, like a pendulum, and built to conform to the requirements annually. Charpy impact machines are checked directly and indirectly.

    Perpendicularity between the notch axis and specimen edge is 62° and the angle of notch is 61°.

    Finish requirements – Ra= 2μm on notched surface and opposite face.

    Data

    h = S (1 – cos (β))

    h1 = S (1 – cos (α))

    Where,

    h = initial elevation of the striker, 

    S = length of the pendulum distance to the center of the strike, 

    β = angle of fall,

    h1 = height of rise, m, and

    α = angle of rise.

    Conclusion:

    The standard test method of ASTM E23 tells about 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 instances, high or low temperatures.
