Impact resistance test is a destructive testing (mechanical testing) method to determine the ability of metals to absorb energy and resist brittle fracture under various environmental conditions.

Metals can be exposed to temperatures ranging from -198°C to +20°C when carrying out such testing at WESTERN CENTRAL LABORATORY.

The results of the impact resistance tests show whether a product meets the requirements of the normative documents, the requirements for the quality of welded joints, and compliance with the welding process requirements, the quality of the thermal treatment, as well as the effect of fatigue and ageing on the material.
