Experiment No 7: To Perform Charpy Impact Test and Determine CIV of The Given Specimen. 1. Objective

This experiment aims to perform a Charpy impact test to determine the impact energy absorbed and the critical impact value (CIV) of a given specimen. The apparatus used includes a Vernier caliper, centering device, and Charpy impact tester. The procedure involves measuring the specimen, positioning it in the tester, raising the pendulum to 138 degrees, releasing it to strike the specimen, and measuring the resulting angle to determine the absorbed energy. The Charpy test involves breaking a V-notched specimen with a swinging pendulum. It provides a measure of material toughness based on the absorbed impact energy. The results from this experiment will help determine whether samples exhibit brittle or ductile behavior under impact.

Experiment no 7

To perform Charpy impact test and determine CIV of the given


specimen.

1. Objective
To find out the impact energy absorbed by the v-notch specimen, measuring impact strength
and modulus of toughness.

2. Apparatus
I. Vernier caliper
II. Centering device
III. Charpy impact tester
IV. V-Notched specimen

3. Figure

4. Procedure
 First, measure the area and dimension of the workpiece.
 Now place the v-notched workpiece with the help of centering device on the surface
of the Charpy impact tester.
 After this raise the pendulum of the tester at an angle of 138 degrees.
 Now we will free the hammer by lifting the pin which holds the hammer.
 When we release the pendulum then it will strike the workpiece and makes an angle
of something like β and we will note it from the dial indicator which we have mounted
on the tester so that we can measure deformation
 At the end we will stop the pendulum with the help of brake.
5. Theory
5.1. Charpy test
The test comprises of breaking by one blow from swinging pendulum, under conditions
defined by models, a test piece indented in the middle and upheld at each end. The energy
absorbed is resolved in joules. This absorbed vitality is a proportion of the impact strength of
a material. The test bar, scored in the middle, is located on two backings. The mallet will
break the test bar and the aborted vitality (in Joule) is a sign for the opposition of the
material to stun loads. There are 2 sorts of Charpy tests:

 U-indent, called Charpy U


 V-indent, called Charpy V.
This is a destructive type of the test in which we place a v-notched workpiece in on the
surface of Charpy impact tester. We fix the hammer at a specific height and then release it as
a result it will strike the workpiece. We can measure the change, or the energy absorbed by
simply measuring the difference between the height of the hammer before and after it strike
the workpiece.
The materials utilized in designing applications are dependably a basic factor. Picking the best
one is a basic method that must be amazingly dependable. To do as such, the materials are
tried from numerous points of view and one of these is the Charpy Impact Test.
This test depends on the way that materials can have two distinct practices. One is fragile,
unwanted in most of the building applications. Weak break implies that, earlier the split,
there was just versatile disfigurement and after that it broke. In the other hand there is the
bendable break, which implies that the material assimilated vitality and endured versatile and
plastic misshaping.

This investigation comprises in submitting institutionalized examples of a similar material at
various temperatures to an effect brought about by a mallet, measure the measure of vitality
ingested amid the effect and find the bendable to-weak progress temperature of that
material.
By doing this it was conceivable to watch the conduct change of the Steel AISI 1045 and
presume that its temperature run that this progress is found is between - 30 degree and 80
degree.
The aim of this experiment was to determine which sample material where tough were brittle. And as
seen from the results of this experiment, the aim of the experiment has been achieved to reasonable
extent.

ball is being removed
 There is some error in the calculation due to faulty apparatus
