Toughness is one of important material properties. At present steel is still the most used material. Owing to the temperature this material can fail both brittly and ductily. Therefore we look for the temperature above which the material will failur ductily. The Charpy impact test is one of methods how to determine the ductility by the temperature – transition access in the determined temperature range. The measured data file is large and it requires the interlay by a curve which presents the relation between the impact energy and the temperature.

Abstract The article discusses the static and dynamic properties of high-strength, boron-containing Hardox 600 steel that is resistant to abrasive wear, both in its delivery state and after normalization. Since the available published material in the literature does not have any real mechanical indicators of the abovementioned steel, a static tension test was carried out at an ambient temperature. The steel’s tensile strength, yield strength, Young’s modulus, elongation and reduction of area were determined from the test. The Charpy impact test at temperatures of −40 °C, −20 °C, 0 °C, and +20 °C and fractographic analysis were performed to determine the transition temperature of ductility to brittleness. In dynamic load conditions, the assigned values of impact energy do not always truly determine the material behavior. Thus, the aim of the fractography was to provide precision when determining the behavior. A significant difference in the impact energy of the tested steel with respect to its heat treatment and ductile-brittle transition temperature was observed and determined based on the impact test result, as well as the nature of the fracture. On the basis of the determined structural and strength characteristics, an analysis of the possibility of application of Hardox 600 steel on selected elements of working machines was performed.

In order to reduce noise nowadays, many researcher find different way to solve this problem. One of the ways to reduce noise is by using a sound insulation. This research has been conducted in order to produce high density sound insulation panel made from ceramic. The fabrication of ceramic panel undergo several processes which are milling, mixing, forming, drying and sintering process. The ceramic panel of different  types of forming were developed as square plate 110mm x 110 mm with a constant thickness of 5 mm. Type of forming were used for this particular study are slip casting and uniaxial press. The composition used were 100 % clay and 90% + 10 % clay cement. The transmission loss were determined by using acoustic insulation test. The apparatus consists of sound level meter, portable speaker and computer. The Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) were taken at 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz and 4000 Hz which based on 1 octave frequency bands. The analysis shown that the sample 90 % + 10 % clay cement casting has the higher transmission loss in the lower frequency region, the sample 90 % + 10 % clay cement uniaxial press has the higher transmission loss in the middle frequency region and lastly the sample 100 % clay uniaxial press has the higher transmission loss in higher frequency region. The sample also were tested using Charpy impact test in order to gain their impact energy and impact strength. The tests were according to ASTM-D256. Charpy impact test can determines the amount of energy absorbed by a material during fracture. The analysis shown that the impact energy of the ceramic panel have a small percentage different. It can be concluded that uniaxial press is better than the slip casting in forming ceramic insulation panel.

The buriti (Muritia flexuosa) fiber are among the lignocellulosic fibers with apotential to be used as reinforcement of polymer composites. In recent years, the buriti fiber has been characterized for its properties as an engineering natural material. The toughness of buriti composites remains to be a evaluated. Therefore, the present work evaluated the toughness of epoxy composites reinforced with different amounts of buriti fibers by means of Charpy impact tests. It was found a significant increase in the impact resistance with the volume fraction of buriti fibers. Fracture observations by scanning electron microscopy revealed the mechanism responsible for this toughness behavior.

The effect of the shock temperature and time on the impact toughness of the adhesively bonded steel butt joint under Charpy or Izod impact test is studied using the experimental method. The results obtained show that the impact toughness decreases when the shock temperature increased. When the curing time, temperature as well as the open assembly time was set as constant, the higher the shock temperature is, the lower the impact toughness of the joint. Comparing to the Charpy impact test, the Izod impact test is more sensitive to the shock temperature. When the shock temperature is set at a value not less than 300 C, the impact toughness measured is nearly the same as zero due to decomposition, carbonization and volatilization of the adhesive.

The mechanical performance of reactor pressure vessel materials is an important factor in the safety and economics of the operation of a nuclear power plant. The ductile-to-brittle transition temperature tested by Charpy impact test is the key parameter for evaluating the reactor pressure vessel embrittlement. In this article, the study of thermal aging embrittlement of temperature sets of reactor pressure vessel surveillance Ni-Cr-Mo-V steel weld metal was conducted by Charpy impact test. The thermal aging effect on the impact fracture behavior was analyzed. The impact test of the three batches of weld surveillance sample indicated that the weld metal embrittled during thermal aging. The study of impact fracture and Auger electron spectroscopy indicated that the element P segregated to the grain boundaries and lowered their cohesion strength during the long-term thermal aging. Therefore, the non-hardening embrittlement of Ni-Cr-Mo-V steel welds in a reactor pressure vessel caused by segregation of impurity elements P occurs during thermal aging.

Finite element modeling of Charpy impact test was performed for a normalized carbon steel specimen based on plane strain geometry and bilinear isotropic hardening plasticity. As the suggested approach takes into account all aspects of nonlinearity such as geometric, material and contact nonlinearities, it may describe the conventional destructive impact test accurately with much less effort and cost. A failure criterion is assumed to be at 10 % of plastic strain based on the tensile experiment data. Impact energy was estimated at different testing temperatures. It was found that impact energy required for fracture of the selected steel specimen at room temperature (i.e. 25 °C) is to be 65.9 Joul. According to simulation results, it is found that the ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT) equals 0 °C. In order to validate the numerical model, a comparison study was established by comparing the numerical results with the corresponding experimental tests at the same conditions, which shows good match with maximum deviation of 5 % for all computer runs.

The Charpy impact test、hardness test、microstructure and morphology analysis of impact fracture by SEM were introduced to research the difference of impact toughness on 25Mn, which were in the station of hot-rolled、normalized and quenched & tempered. The resulted showed that the changes of load、deformation and energy exhaust in difference stage of deformation and fracture could be gained by Charpy impact test. 25Mn in quenched & tempered has more deformation resistance and deformation property than which in other stations. The total impact values was 6J higher than which in normalized in average, however, the crack propagation values was 16.78J higher in average. Ductile-brittle property of the material can be estimated by the analysis of crack formation values、crack propagation values and fracture morphology on samples.

In this research, trace boron (4ppm, 8ppm, 11ppm) was added into the Nb-added HSLA H-beams. The impact toughness of H-beams with/without boron was examined by Charpy impact test (V-notch). The morphologies of the microstructure and the fracture surfaces of the impact specimens were observed by metalloscope, stereomicroscope and electron probe. The experimental results prove that the absorbed impact energy at -40°C for the 4ppm, 8ppm, 11ppm boron-added steels respectively reaches up to 80J, 126J, 85J from 15J and H-beams with boron have a lower FATT than that without boron. It is also found that the total oxygen content affects the absorbed impact energy to a certain extent. It is discovered by transmission electron microscope (TEM) that boron mainly exists in solid solution state, except that a little amount of Fe23(C, B)6is formed at the grain boundaries, and the distribution of Nb(C, N) is also influenced by boron addition.

Firstly, by analyzing the response of Charpy V-notch specimen impacted by pendulum, the relationship between specimen geometry, material properties, and impact energy is established and simplified, and the mathematical model for evaluating impact energy of specimens with different sizes is established. Then, the effectiveness of the model through a series of impact tests is verified. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the relationship between ligament length and impact energy is quadratic, while the relationship between ligament thickness and impact energy is linear. In the derivation process, the intrinsic impact toughness is used to evaluate the toughness of materials. The mathematical model makes it possible to evaluate the impact energy of specimens with different sizes and provides a theoretical basis for evaluating the impact resistance of structures.
