Charpy impact test

The Charpy impact test is a standardized high-energy impact test used to determine the toughness or impact resistance of materials, particularly metals. It assesses how well a material can absorb energy during a high-velocity impact and how susceptible it is to failure under such conditions. ### Key Aspects of the Charpy Impact Test: 1. **Test Specimen**: The test involves a notched specimen, typically a rectangular bar with a specified size.
