Book excerpt: A suitable test technique and experimental procedure have been developed in CISE for instrumented impact testing of sub-sized Charpy specimens, both V-notched and fatigue precracked, on a 40 J small-scale drop-weight machine. The test technique will be described, including unusual test features, such as in situ temperature conditioning. The results of a series of tests performed on sub-size Charpy specimens will be presented, allowing the influence of various test parameters to be evaluated. Comparisons with standard, full-size specimen data will be presented and discussed as well. Finally, the activity of a Working Group on Instrumented Impact Testing of Miniaturized Charpy V-notch Specimens, active within ESIS Technical Committee 5 and chaired by the author, will be briefly described.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Charpy to Present Impact Testing contains 52 peer-reviewed papers selected from those presented at the Charpy Centenary Conference held in Poitiers, France, 2-5 October 2001. The name of Charpy remains associated with impact testing on notched specimens. At a time when many steam engines exploded, engineers were preoccupied with studying the resistance of steels to impact loading. The Charpy test has provided invaluable indications on the impact properties of materials. It revealed the brittle ductile transition of ferritic steels. The Charpy test is able to provide more quantitative results by instrumenting the striker, which allows the evolution of the applied load during the impact to be determined. The Charpy test is of great importance to evaluate the embrittlement of steels by irradiation in nuclear reactors. Progress in computer programming has allowed for a computer model of the test to be developed; a difficult task in view of its dynamic, three dimensional, adiabatic nature. Together with precise observations of the processes of fracture, this opens the possibility of transferring quantitatively the results of Charpy tests to real components. This test has also been extended to materials other than steels, and is also frequently used to test polymeric materials. Thus the Charpy test is a tool of great importance and is still at the root of a number of investigations; this is the reason why it was felt that the centenary of the Charpy test had to be celebrated. The Société Française de Métallurgie et de Matériaux decided to organise an international conference which was put under the auspices of the European Society for the Integrity of Structures (ESIS). This Charpy Centenary Conference (CCC 2001) was held in Poitiers, at Futuroscope in October 2001. More than 150 participants from 17 countries took part in the discussions and about one hundred presentations were given. An exhibition of equipment showed, not only present day testing machines, but also one of the first Charpy pendulums, brought all the way from Imperial College in London. From Charpy to Present Impact Testing puts together a number of significant contributions. They are classified into 6 headings: •Keynote lectures,•Micromechanisms,•Polymers,•Testing procedures,•Applications,•Modelling.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small specimen test techniques are becoming ever more popular as the need increases to characterize mechanical properties by the use of the smallest possible amount of material, because of various restrictions on material availability, irradiation, testing space, and other factors. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is currently developing certified miniaturized Charpy V-notch (MCVN) specimens for the indirect verification of small-scale impact testing machines. The same materials used for NIST standard verification specimens are being evaluated at three energy levels (low, high, and super-high). Two specimen types are being investigated, denominated KLST (from the German Kleinstprobe, or "small specimen") and RHS (reduced half-size). Several instrumented impact tests on miniaturized KLST and RHS specimens of low, high, and super-high energy have been performed and analyzed. The variability of MCVN data has been compared to that of full-size Charpy data from the same lots of test specimens. Although this can be considered as just the preliminary phase of this project, the results indicate that MCVN verification specimens can be used for the indirect verification of small-scale instrumented impact testers, both in terms of absorbed energy and maximum force.

Book excerpt: Small specimen test techniques are becoming ever more popular as the need increases to characterize mechanical properties by use of the smallest possible amount of material, because of various restrictions on material availability, irradiation, testing space, and other factors. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently qualified reference miniaturized Charpy V-notch (MCVN) specimens for the indirect verification of small-scale impact testing machines (with capacity in the range 15 J to 50 J and impact velocity around 3.8 m/s). The same materials used for NIST standard verification specimens were evaluated at three energy levels (low, high, and super-high). The miniaturized specimen type investigated is denominated KLST (from the German Kleinstprobe, or "small specimen"). In the first phase of the qualification activity, several instrumented impact tests on miniaturized KLST specimens of low, high, and super-high energy were performed and analyzed at NIST. In this part of the study, which was published elsewhere [Lucon, E., "Certified Miniaturized Charpy Specimens for the Indirect Verification of Small-Size Impact Machines," Mater. Perform. Character., Volume 2, No. 1, 2013], the variability of MCVN data was compared to that of full-size Charpy data from the same lot of specimens. Additional aspects were also investigated, such as the influence of shear lip symmetry and specimen full or partial fracture on absorbed energy, and the correlation between miniaturized and full-size Charpy data. In the second phase of the qualification activity, certified values of absorbed energy and maximum force were established for each energy level by means of an international round robin, which involved nine highly qualified laboratories. The results of this round robin, and the outcome of the statistical analyses performed in accordance with ASTM E691-13 (ASTM E691-13: Standard Practice for Conducting an Interlaboratory Study to Determine the Precision of a Test Method, ASTM International, West Conshohocken, PA) and ISO 5725-2 [ISO 5725-2, 1994, "Accuracy (Trueness and Precision) of Measurement Methods and Results," International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland], are presented in this paper. Complete details are provided by NIST [Lucon, E., McCowan, C., Santoyo, R., and Splett, J., "Standard Reference Materials--Certification Report for SRM 2216, 2218, 2219: KLST (Miniaturized) Charpy V-Notch Impact Specimens," NIST Special Publication 260-180, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD, 2013], which accompanies the certified KLST.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To investigate the feasibility of the production of sub-size Charpy reference test pieces, tests were performed on sub-size samples (3 × 4 × 27 mm3) carefully machined from full-size (10 × 10 × 55 mm3) Charpy V-notch certified reference test pieces. The measured absorbed energy (KV) values indicate a highly satisfactory homogeneity of the sub-size specimens. Sub-size specimens were prepared from full-size reference test pieces of 30, 60, 80, 120, and 150 J nominal absorbed energy; and values between 2 J and 7.2 J were obtained, covering almost fully the range of interest for sub-size Charpy tests. A linear relationship is observed between the KV values of sub-size and full-size samples of the same material.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calibration specimens have been manufactured for checking the performance of a pendulum impact testing machine that has been configured for testing subsize specimens, both half-size (5.0 x 5.0 x 25.4 mm) and third-size (3.33 x 3.33 x 25.4 mm). Specimens were fabricated from quenched-and-tempered 4340 steel heat treated to produce different microstructures that would result in either high or low absorbed energy levels on testing. A large group of both half- and third-size specimens were tested at -40°C. The results of the tests were analyzed for average value and standard deviation, and these values were used to establish calibration limits for the Charpy impact machine when testing subsize specimens. These average values plus or minus two standard deviations were set as the acceptable limits for the average of five tests for calibration of the impact testing machine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The potential for using subsize specimens to determine the actual properties of reactor pressure vessel steels is receiving increasing attention for improved vessel condition monitoring that could be beneficial for light-water reactor plant-life extension. This potential is made conditional upon, on the one hand, by the possibility of cutting samples of small volume from the internal surface of the pressure vessel for determination of actual properties of the operating pressure vessel. On the other hand, the plant-life extension will require supplemental surveillance data that cannot be provided by the existing surveillance programs. Testing of subsize specimens manufactured from broken halves of previously tested surveillance Charpy V-notch (CVN) specimens offers an attractive means of extending existing surveillance programs. Using subsize CVN type specimens requires the establishment of a specimen geometry that is adequate to obtain a ductile-to-brittle transition curve similar to that obtained from full-size specimens. This requires the development of a correlation of transition temperature and upper-shelf toughness between subsize and full-size specimens. The present study was conducted under the Heavy-Section Steel Irradiation Program. Different published approaches to the use of subsize specimens were analyzed and five different geometries of subsize specimens were selected for testing and evaluation. The specimens were made from several types of pressure vessel steels with a wide range of yield strengths, transition temperatures, and upper-shelf energies (USEs). The effects of specimen dimensions, including depth, angle, and radius of notch have been studied. The correlation of transition temperature determined from different types of subsize specimens and the full-size specimen is presented. A new procedure for transforming data from subsize specimens was developed and is presented. The transformed data are in good agreement with data from full-size specimens for materials that have USE levels

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The instrumented impact test with Charpy specimens of subsize geometry is discussed in relation to equivalent standard procedures for performing the test with specimens of regular size. Subsize specimens because of their smaller dimensions imply smaller load values and higher frequencies of the force oscillations. These differences in the behaviour require special high sensitivity striker tups, force measuring chains of high upper frequency bounds, and knowledge of the actual Hooke's line for determining the yield force Fgy. Practical recommendations are given and procedures are outlined on how these requirements can be met and how the evaluations can be performed. The applicability of the presented measuring and evaluation procedures and the validity and the accuracy of the obtained data is demonstrated by experimental results.

This book was released on with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation on the impact toughness properties of wrought and additively-manufactured (AM) Ti-6Al-4V was conducted at NIST Boulder, by means of instrumented impact tests on miniaturized Charpy specimens. Full transition curves for absorbed energy and lateral expansion were obtained by performing tests in the temperature range between -196 C and 700 C. The effect of various parameters was investigated for AM specimens, namely specimen orientation, Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIPping), and notch configuration (printed or machined). Our results indicate that AM specimens exhibit equivalent or better impact toughness than wrought material after HIPping, and that the material is more resistant to cracks growing in the plane perpendicular to the build direction than in the plane containing the build direction. HIPping has a significantly beneficial effect for the AM material, while no effect of notch configuration was observed from the results obtained. Characteristic instrumented forces allow a qualitative assessment of dynamic tensile properties, which appear to be similar for wrought and AM Ti-6Al-4V.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A total of 565 instrumented impact tests (232 performed on full-size and 333 on subsize Charpy-V specimens) have been analyzed in order to derive meaningful assumptions on the correlations existing between test results obtained on specimens of different size. Nine materials (pressure vessel steels) have been considered, in both the as-received and irradiated state, for a total of 19 conditions examined. For the analysis of data, conventional as well as novel approaches have been investigated; the former ones, based on a review of the existing literature, include predictions of upper-shelf energy (USE) values by the use of normalization factors (NF), shifts of index temperatures related to energy/lateral expansion/shear fracture levels, and a combination of both approaches (scaling+shifting of energy curves). More original and recent proposals have also been verified, available in the literature but also proposed by SCK•CEN in the frame of enhanced surveillance of nuclear reactor pressure vessels. Conclusions are drawn regarding the applicability and reliability of these methodologies.
