    Impact strength is a mechanical property that measures a material's ability to withstand sudden loads. It is expressed in terms of energy, such as joules per meter or kg-cm/cm of notch. Impact strength determines a material's toughness and resistance to high-speed loading. Factors like loading rate, temperature, orientation, processing conditions, and crystallinity affect impact strength. Common impact tests include pendulum tests like Charpy and Izod, drop weight tests, and instrumented impact tests. Specimen size and notch geometry are standardized, and tests are conducted in a controlled laboratory environment. Izod and Charpy tests involve breaking notched beams with a pendulum to evaluate a plastic's shock loading characteristics and compare materials and

    Impact Strength

    Impact Strengths the capability of the material to


    withstand a suddenly applied load and is expressed in
    terms of energy.
    it expressed in j/m or kg cm/cm of notch.
    Its a mechanical property of any material.
    Significance:
    impact strength of material determines
    the toughness of material it means resistance to high speed
    loading
    Factors affecting the impact strength
    Rate of loading
    Temperature
    Orientation
    Processing condition and types
    Degree of crystallinity , molecular
    weight


    Impact test for plastics can be categorized in three
    major types:

    1. pendulum impact test : charpy, izod ,tensile impact
    test
    2. Drop weight impact :
    3. Instrumented impact test :
    Test specimen and conditioning
    For Izod test : 64.5mm 12.7 mm 3.2mm
    For charpy test : 127mm 12.7mm 3.2mm

    Notch : the angel of notch is 45 1 with a
    radius of 0.25 mm.

    Laboratory atmosphere is 23 2C and 50 5
    % RH










    Notched Izod Impact
    Strength Specimen is held
    as a vertical cantilevered
    beam and is broken by a
    pendulum. Impact occurs on
    the notched side of the
    specimen.









    The test was developed in
    1905 by the French scientist
    Georges Charpy. Charpy
    Impact Strength Specimen is
    held as a simply supported
    beam and is impacted on the
    side opposite the notch. This
    method is no longer covered
    under ASTM D256 but is still
    reported as such.

    Izod / charpy impact test
    Equipment :

    Izod impact
    Charpy Impact
    What we know form impact strength test :


    Shock loading characteristics of material
    Test result used for comparison of material,
    manufacturing condition, material texture design
    and treatment .

    Factors Affecting Test Result
    Notch
    Specimen thickness
    Specimen preparation
    Temperature
    Filler and other additives
    Limitations
