A Simple Method for Charpy Impact Testing below 6K

  • Chapter
Advances in Cryogenic Engineering

Part of the book series: Advances in Cryogenic Engineering ((ACRE,volume 19))

Abstract

Impact testing at temperatures down to 77 K is routinely accomplished according to ASTM specifications. The specimen is transferred in open air from a liquid bath to the test machine anvil and the pendulum is released within 5 sec. However, this method is impractical at lower temperatures since the low heat capacity of the metal leads to a rapid increase in specimen temperature during transfer.
