PREPERATION OF SPECIMEN

MATERIALS
1. STEEL
2. BRASS
3. ALUMINIUM

MATERIAL DIMENSIONS
 TOTAL LENGTH=1ft
 FINAL LENGTH=55mm
 V-NOTCHES=2mm depth
 Total number of specimens=6 (2 of each material)

STANDARD
ASTM-E23
FABRICATION OF SPECIMENS
 First of all we cut two 55mm specimens of each materials with
hacksaw.
 Then we finish the irregular ends of 55mm specimens with file
and grinder.
 When the 55mm specimens of each of three materials are ready.
 Then we draw a 0.5 mm mark at 27.5mm with hacksaw on each
specimen.
 By using 45 degree angular file, we make the notches of 2mm
depth.

FINAL DIMENSIONS
1. TOTAL LENGTH=55mm
2. V-NOTCHES=2mm

CONCLUSION
At the end we performed the charpy test on specimens of each of three
materials on pendulum impact machine. On which we observe how
much amount of impact load that materials bear. We place the specimen
in the pendulum impact testing machine and pendulum strikes to the
specimen. The brittle materials break when accounting the impact load
and ductile materials deforms. There is a needle which indicates the
impact load which the specimen can bear.
