1. Introduction
In this experiment, students will perform Impact Toughness Testing using impact tester equipment. They will find out how the notch will influence notched bar impact work. They will also learn how different specimen materials influence the notched bar impact work and therefore also the notched bar impact strength.
2. Objectives
· Performing Charpy impact test using the Pendulum Impact Tester to measure the impact toughness of materials.
· It is to be determined in this experiment how different specimen materials influence the notched bar impact work and therefore also the notched bar impact strength.
3. Equipment/Components/Software:
Equipment
Pendulum Impact Tester
Specimen
GUNT- R5 specimens
Instrument
Vernier Caliper
4. Theory
Ao :Cross-sectional Area of the specimens in the Notch Root in cm2
Ao = a x b
5. Experimental Procedure
Pendulum Impact Tester will be used to measure the impact toughness properties of test specimens (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Pendulum Impact Tester.
Figure 2 illustrates in a diagram how the specimen is mounted and how the hammer impacts on the specimen in the support.
(a) (b)
Figure 2. (a) Top view of notched bar specimen (b) Unit base with support and specimen
The task of the trailing pointer is to indicate the energy expended for the impact on a scale (Fig. 3). When the hammer swings through the lowest possible point (zero point), the trailing pointer is carried with it.
· Pos. 1: Position of the trailing pointer before the release of the hammer.
· Pos. 2: Attained position of the trailing pointer after the hammer has swung. The energy absorbed by the specimen can then be read out directly.
Figure 3. Trailing pointer and scale
In order to record the influence of the specimen material alone on the notched bar impact work to be expended, specimens must be selected which are made from different materials but which have the same remaining cross-section in the notch root.
The following specimens are selected from the delivered specimen range for this experiment:
· Specimen 1 material: structural steel possesses a maximum carbon content of 0.2%.
· Specimen 2 material: machining tool steel with a high cutting rate.
· Specimen 3 material: heat-treated steel has a carbon content of approximately 0.45%.
Experimental procedure to break the specimens at room temperature with the pendulum impact tester.
1. Lock the hammer
· Lift the hammer lock upwards and move the hammer against the direction of impact as far as the stop of the axis until the safety hook of the lower hand lever locks into place.
· Let go of the hammer lock and ensure that the hammer lock holds the hammer in place.
2. Set the trailing pointer to Pos.1 (see Fig. 3).
3. Insert the notch specimen into the support. The specimen is positioned with the notch facing the impact and affixed to the mandrel.
4. Release the hammer
· The lower hand lever must remain pushed in during the experiment, so that the swinging pendulum does not come into contact with the brake.
· Lift the hammer lock upwards and push the lower hand lever to release the pendulum.
5. Read the value shown by the trailing pointer for the expended notched bar impact work on the scale of the unit and enter this into the table on the worksheet.

(Use blue color in your answers)
Question 1:
Main principal of the impact toughness measurement:
Initial potential energy of the pendulum at the start position: Ei = m g H
Final potential energy of the pendulum after the impact: Ef = m g h
What is the notch impact energy (KV) in terms of Ei and Ef ?
Question 2:
What type of materials are suitable for low temperature impact toughness applications and why?
Question 3:
How does the test engineer place the specimen on a support in the lower part of the machine (Notch is facing the hammer or Notch is not facing the hammer) and which device does he use to adjust the specimen position?
Question 4:
What does the test engineer do to make sure the Pendulum impact tester measures toughness accurately and friction is correctly compensated?
Question 5:
What type of materials show ductile to brittle transition in the impact energy versus temperature graphical test results?
7. Report
