 What is impact testing?
 The impact test is a method for evaluating the toughness, impact
strength and notch sensitivity of engineering materials.
 It is usually used to test the toughness of metals, but similar tests
are used for polymers, ceramics and composites.
 The notched test specimen is broken by the impact of a heavy
pendulum or hammer, falling at a predetermined velocity through a
fixed distance.
 The test measures the energy absorbed by the fractured specimen.
 Why impact testing is important?
 Impact test determines the amount of energy absorbed by a
material during fracture.
 This absorbed energy is a measure of a given material's
toughness
 Acts as a tool to study temperature-dependent brittle-ductile
transition.
 It is to determine whether the material is brittle or ductile in
nature.
 The types of impact tests
There are basically two types of impact tests:
A. Pendulum B. Drop Weight

A. Pendulum:
Izod and Charpy are the most common of the pendulum type tests.

 Izod Impact Test:

 IZOD tests can be performed on either plastic or metal
specimens.
 An IZOD specimen is typically a 64 x 12.7 x 3.2-millimetre
bar.
 The specimen is clamped vertically on the anvil with the
notch facing the Hammer.
 The types of impact tests

 Charpy Impact Test:

 Charpy tests are commonly performed on metals, but a few
plastics and polymers can also be tested.
 It determines the amount of energy absorbed by a material
during fracture.
 According to ISO A Charpy test specimen is usually a 55 x
10 x 10 millimeter bar.
 It is also known as the Charpy V-notch or Charpy U-notch
test.
 The types of impact tests

B. Drop Weight
 A mass is dropped vertically on to a test specimen.
 A tube or rails are used to guide the falling mass.
 Since the mass either stops dead on the specimen or
breaks it, the test was essentially pass/fail.
 This equipment is mainly designed to check the impact
failure weight of films and sheeting by a falling weight
impact method.
 What is impact testing machine?

 Evaluate an object's capacity to withstand high-rate loading;

 Commonly used to determine the service life of a material;
 Impact resistance can be among the most challenging
qualities to measure.
