Factors That Can Affect a Charpy Impact Test
Yield Strength In general, as a material’s yield strength increases, its impact energy will decrease. In other words, materials with higher yield strength will generally have lower toughness. Materials that can plastically deform before ultimate failure are considered to be tougher. Notch The V-notch specimen is used when the material is brittle and a U-notch specimen is […]
Carbon Steel vs. Alloy Steel in CNC Machining
Carbon and alloy steels are two (2) of the most used types of steels in CNC machining. But do you know their primary differences? We’ve listed some of the most common differences between them so you become aware of how you can use them differently and similarly. They differ in composition. Alloy steel usually has […]
