What is the Izod Impact Test, and why is it important in material testing?

The Izod Impact Test is a standardized method used to evaluate the impact resistance of materials, particularly metals and plastics. It measures the energy absorbed by a material during fracture under a single, high-velocity impact. This test helps manufacturers understand a material’s toughness and ability to withstand sudden forces or shocks. The results are crucial in selecting materials for applications where durability and reliability under stress are essential.
