I got this question during a job interview.

This key question is from Aircraft Materials in portion Testing Aircraft Materials of Aerospace Materials & Processes

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) Izod test and Charpy test

To elaborate: The Charpy impact test and the Izod impact test are Standard impact tests. They have some differences, but they both give the impact values of the specimen. Reverse bend tests and flattening test are bending tests.
