Protective hard PVD coatings are used to improve the endurance of the tools exposed to repeated impact load, e.g., fine blanking punches. During the fine blanking process, a coated punch repeatedly impacts sheet metal. Thus, the coating which protects the punch surface is exposed to the dynamic impact load. On the other hand, the laboratory method of dynamic impact testing is well known and used for the development and optimization of protective coatings. This paper is focused on the comparison of tool life and lifetime of the industrial prepared PVD coatings exposed to repeated dynamic impact load in the industrial fine blanking process and the laboratory dynamic impact testing. Three different types of protective coatings were tested and the results were discussed. It was shown that the lifetime of coated specimens in both the fine blanking and the dynamic impact processes was influenced by similar mechanical properties of the protective coatings. The qualitative comparison shows that the lifetime obtained by the dynamic impact test was the same as the lifetime obtained by the industrial fine blanking process. The laboratory impact test appears to be a suitable alternative for the optimisation and development of protective PVD coatings for punches used in the industrial fine blanking process.

Coated components used in industry are often exposed to repetitive dynamic impact load. The dynamic impact test is a suitable method for the study of thin protective coatings under such conditions. Aim of this paper is to describe the method of dynamic impact testing and the novel concepts of evaluation of the impact test results, such as the impact resistance and the impact deformation rate. All of the presented results were obtained by testing two W-B-C coatings with different C/W ratio. Different impact test results are discussed with respect to the coatings microstructure, the chemical and phase composition, and the mechanical properties. It is shown that coating adhesion to the HSS substrate played a crucial role in the coatings’ impact lifetime.

Taylor impact test is characterized by high impact energy, low cost, and good repeatability, giving it the technical foundation and development potential for application in high-g loading. In this paper, the feasibility of performing high-g load impact testing to a missile-borne recorder by conducting Taylor impact test was studied by combining simulation analyses with experimental verification. Acccording to the actual dimensions of the missile-borne recorder, an experimental piece was designed based on the Taylor impact principle. The impact loading characteristics of the missile-borne recorder were then simulated and analyzed at different impact velocities. In addition, the peak acceleration function and the pulse duration function of the load were fitted to guide the experimental design. A Taylor-Hopkinson impact experiment was also conducted to measure the impact load that was actually experienced by the missile-borne recorder and the results were compared with the results of strain measurements on the Hopkinson incident bar. The results showed that the peak value of impact load, the pulse duration and the waveform of the actual experimental results were in good agreement with the results predicted by the simulations. Additionally, the strain data measured on the incident bar could be used to verify or replace the acceleration testing of the specimen to simplify the experimental process required. Based on the impact velocity, high-g loading impact was achieved with peak values in the 7,000–30,000 g range and durations of 1.3–1 ms, and the waveform generated was a sawtooth wave. The research results provide a new approach for high amplitude and long pulse duration impact loading to large-mass components, and broaden the application field of Taylor impact test.

This study investigates the performance of particulate-filled thermoplastic fluoropolymer coatings under both dynamic impact tests and static indentation tests. An instrumented impact testing rig was used to measure the impact energy, impact velocity, acceleration and impact force during the impact tests. Coating samples with different thicknesses of coating layers and steel substrate were impact tested to investigate the effect of coating and substrate thickness on the impact response and damage to the coatings. The data obtained from the dynamic tests were used to calculate the Meyer hardness values of the coating and compared with the Meyer hardness results obtained from Brinell indentation tests on the coating. The Meyer index m was similar under dynamic impact and static indentation testing conditions. The Meyer hardness calculated from the impact tests does not change markedly as a function of depth of penetration normalised to the thickness of coating, whereas the Brinell hardness increases with the depth of penetration to coating thickness ratio. For a given value of indentation strain, the Meyer hardness calculated from the maximum force measured in the impact test is approximately 2.5 times that resulting from the Brinell test. This reflects the fact that the higher strain rate in the impact test would give rise to a higher flow stress and thus hardness.

To guarantee the security of composite insulators as tension strings applied to ultra-high voltage engineering, it is necessary to study the mechanical properties of composite insulator regarding break impact. The test system was designed and the implementation plan was developed. Test was done to two insulator strings broken and the dynamic impact factor under different broken conditions at different tension was obtained accordingly, which provides reference and evidence for further study on mechanical properties of composite insulator and development of applicable design specifications.

The impact specimens with different hydrogen contents were solution treated at 540±3°C for 12h; water quenched at 60-100°C; and aged at 165±1°C for 6h. The impact test was carried out at Roell450 pendulum impact testing machine. The impact test results show that the impact energy has strong relation with the hydrogen content. The total absorption energy increases with the increasing of hydrogen content. The crack propagation energy Avp and present larger proportion than the initial crack energy Avi in the total absorption energy Av. The number of the pinholes increases and the pinholes turn from smaller irregular ones into sub-circular shape ones. The specimen with irregular sub-circular pinholes has larger KI, and has more crack propagation resistance.
