Mechanical Testing

Charpy V-Notch Impact Properties: A trasverse Charpy V-notch lateral expansion of 0.015” [0.38 mm] in individual specimens is required. The test temperature shall be agreed upon between the manufacturer and purchaser. Please inquire for required Charpy V-notch test temperature and for other specified minimum impact property requirements.
