Performance Testing – Toughness

Table of Content [Hide]

    3.4 Performance Testing – Toughness


    Toughness: The ability of a material to absorb energy during plastic deformation and fracture. The better the toughness, the lower the likelihood of brittle fracture.


    Testing method – Low-temperature impact test


    Sampling: Finished products, semi-finished products after heat treatment


    Sampling ratio: 8 pieces per batch


    Specimen preparation:

    1. Sampling: Near-surface sampling.

    2. Specimen machining: Standard specimen dimensions according to GB/T 229-2007 (length 55 mm, square cross-section 10 mm × 10 mm, with a V-notch or U-notch at the mid-length position).

    3. Testing equipment: Pendulum impact testing machine

    4. Test procedure:

    Place the notched specimen, cooled to 45 °C and having the specified geometry, between the two supports of the testing machine with the notch facing away from the striking edge. Strike the specimen once with the pendulum and measure the absorbed energy. The requirement is AKV 2 ≥ 27 J.
