Charpy Tooling

What is the Charpy Impact Test?

The Charpy impact test, sometimes called the Charpy v-notch test, has been used to measure a material’s hardness and ductility for over a century. Tooling used to cut the v-notch in the test must be manufactured to precise specifications.

V W Broaching Service has a great deal of experience in manufacturing the critical tooling. Because the Charpy test is a relative measure of the strength of a particular material, in some cases, existing charpy tooling can be refurbished.
