GOST 9454-78 Impact Bending (Pendulum) Testing of Metals

GOST 9454-78 · GOST standard

GOST 9454-78 is the method for determining the impact performance of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys using notched-bar pendulum impact testing. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What GOST 9454-78 Covers

It defines the notched specimens and the pendulum test used to measure absorbed impact energy for metals in the GOST system, spanning several notch and specimen variants.

Why It Matters

Impact energy governs toughness acceptance for structural and low-temperature applications. A verified machine and correct specimen preparation keep results defensible.
