A REVIEW OF PRECRACKED CHARPY FRACTURE TOUGHNESS TESTING TECHNIQUES

Abstract

This study summarizes the accumulated information and knowledge on precracked Charpy testing methods obtained as a result of an intensive literature survey. The precracked Charpy impact and slow bend test methods are defined and analyzed and their advantages, disadvantages, and limitations are critically appraised. The information will be especially useful to laboratories and engineers applying structural materials to aeronautical and aerospace structures.
