MSE 227 Lab # (2)- Notched Bar Impact Testing of Materials

Abstract:
The “Notched Bar Impact Testing of Materials” is an experiment that requires using of the Charpy Testing Machine. This experiment involves examining five samples of each of the 1018 steel and 2024 aluminum when placed under different conditions and temperatures for a certain amount of time. These specimens are later transferred to the charpy machine using a special tongue to place the specimens in the right position. Hence, this experiment gives knowledge about the width, impact energy and shear percentage of each of the samples.
