Charpy testing
The Charpy test
The term “Charpy testing” is derived from the French engineer Georges Augustin Albert Charpy. In mechanical materials testing, the methods used to determine the toughness properties of metallic and polymeric materials are closely associated with his surname, both in scientific terminology and in colloquial language.
When a materials tester performs an impact or notched bar impact test in the laboratory, they often describe their activity in everyday language as performing a “Charpy test.”
