Impact tests. Charpy impact tests were performed by using a Ceast fracture pendulum at two different temperatures (—20°C and room temperature).

Impact testing Charpy impact testing is carried out in accordance with the method ISO 179-10 Plastics-Determination of Charpy impact properties). Before testing, the specimens should be conditioned at 23 1 °C and 50 % relative humidity for at least 24 h. The dimensions of the specimens are 80 mm x 8 mm x 3.2 mm with a 0.25 mm single notch (type A).

Tensile and flexural properties were studied with an Instron 4204 testing machine. Tensile tests were performed on the drawn strands at a test speed of 3 mm/ min, while three-point-bending tests (ISO 178) at a speed of 5 mm/min were applied to the injection molded specimens. Charpy impact strength was measured of the unnotched samples with a Zwick 5102 pendulum-type testing machine using a span of 70 mm. The specimens (4 X 10 X 112 mm) used for three-point-bending tests were also used for the impact tests. It should be noted that neither the tensile tests for the strands nor the impact tests were standard tests. The samples were conditioned for 88 h at 23°C (50% r.h,) before testing.

Charpy impact test—a destructive test of impact resistance, consisting of placing the specimen in a horizontal position between two supports then striking the specimen with a pendulum striker swung from a fixed height. The magnitude of the blow is increased until specimen breaks. The result is expressed in in-lb or ft-lb of energy-...

Many applications of ceramic composites will expose the material to impact damage. Here again, the amount of work which has been done in this arena is limited, and needs to be increased. Impact tests can be performed using drop towers or Charpy impact testing apparatus. Such measurements have been done at room temperature30 and the apparatus can be adapted for use at elevated temperatures. 

Numerous studies have been made of the mechanical properties of fibrous composites these include recently published papers on impact properties by Izod (1,2, 3,4) and Charpy (5,6) and drop weight (7) tests. We reported the Charpy impact fracture behavior of various glass-polyester composites regarding the effects of temperature (8,9,10), specimen size (8), and fiber orientation (10). This paper describes the effects of the tough-brittle transition in the impact behavior of glass-polyester composites which occurs with a variation of temperature and specimen size. 

ASTM E 23-66 was applied for the dimensions of standard specimens except that the mat reinforced specimen (GC 33 wt % ) used ASTM D 256-56. Specimens were taken from a molded plate along the longitudinal fiber direction, and V notches were cut edgewise, perpendicular to both fiber direction and molding surface. Occasionally a specimen notched on the molding surface (flatwise) was used. Tests were performed with an instrumented Charpy impact tester (10) with a 30 kg-m or 150 kg-cm capacity. Test temperatures were varied from — 196°-250°C.

The materials and morphological parameters are usually studied as function of test temperature and test speed. The Izod method as function of temperature (9,10) is standard. Also studied is the Charpy impact behavior, both as a function of test temperature and test speed (12). With a notched tensile impact test, both test speed and test temperature can easily be varied (I, 2,13). 

Low-temperature embrittlement occurs in carbon and low-alloy steels at temperatures below their brittle-ductile transition temperature range. The effect is reversible when the alloy is heated above the transition range, ductility is restored. This embrittlement is avoided by following the Charpy impact test requirements of the relevant engineering codes. The need to test depends primarily on the material, its thickness and the minimum design temperature.
