Charpy impact test for metals by ISO 148
The Charpy impact test is a standardized test used to measure the impact toughness of a material during fracture. Testing is performed according to the ISO 148-1 standard and can be conducted at temperatures as low as -193 °C.
A V-shaped or U-shaped notch is created in the sample, after which a pendulum is used to break it. The test measures how much energy the material absorbs before fracturing. The energy absorbed gives insight into the material's ability to withstand sudden impacts.
