ASTM E23 Standard Test Methods for Notched Bar Impact Testing of Metallic Materials -- eLearning Course

About the Course

This courses covers the test methods that describe notched-bar impact testing of metallic materials by the Charpy (simple-beam) test and the Izod (cantilever-beam) test. The course covers the requirements for: test specimens, test procedures, test reports, test machines verifying Charpy impact machines, optional test specimen configurations, designation of test specimen orientation, and determining the percent of shear fracture on the surface of broken impact specimens.

In addition, information is provided on the significance of notched-bar impact testing, and methods of measuring the center of strike.

The course takes approximately 1 hour to complete and includes instructional video content, interactive knowledge checks, and a self-grading quiz. Downloadable resources include a pdf of the standard.
