Destructive Testing (DT)

Charpy V-U Notch Test

Determining a material's fracture energy against dynamic loads at a given temperature and evaluating the fracture type.

Performed to determine the fracture energy of a material against dynamic loads. After fracture, the surface is examined for fracture type (ductile, brittle, etc.). Energy is calculated in joules and varies with specimen size and test temperature. In our laboratory it can be performed between +10 and -196 °C with an INSTRON 450 Joule Motorized Impact machine.
