Introduction to impact test
Impact test is a common method to determine the impact strength or toughness of a material by measuring the total energy that the material can absorb. The brittleness of the material directly determines the total energy that can be absorbed. Generally, the absorption rate of ceramic or glass is lower than that of copper or aluminum. material.
The impact test can be divided into Charpy impact test and Izod impact test or simply support beam impact test and cantilever beam impact test according to the type of impact.
Impact specimen type: According to the gap, the impact specimen can be divided into U-notch impact specimen and V-notch impact specimen, as shown below:
