ASTM E23 Standard Test for Notched Bar Impact Test of Metallic Materials

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM E23 testing. The ASTM E23 standard, developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), describes one of the standard test methods for impact testing of metallic materials.

The ASTM E23 standard describes the Charpy test and Izod tests, which are notched bar impact tests that determine the energy absorbed by metallic materials during fracture.

These tests are performed at various temperatures. The energy absorbed is a measure of the toughness of the material and is used to determine the changes in energy absorbed at the fracture at various temperatures.

The properties determined by the notched bar impact test method of ASTM E23 Metallic materials relate to the behavior patterns of a material, especially a metal material, which is subjected to a single force application that causes multi-axis stresses associated with a notch.

The test method explained to the ISO 23-148 standard with the ASTM E1 test method shows many similarities. While this method uses a 2 or 2,5 millimeter radius hammer, the 148-1 standard uses a 2 or 8 millimeter hammer. However, although these tests use the same test sample and lock radius, the samples are tested on different machines that have been calibrated to different reference standards.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
