Duplex high-carbon steel is widely used in ball mills in the form of grinding balls and thus subjected to impact loads during the normal operation of the mill. The influence of impact loading at different impact energies is investigated in this paper. Impact tests using a drop tower were performed in the regime of 100–150 J, and the mechanical response of the material was recorded. The deformation behaviour of the material was classified into two groups: (a) low-impact-energy regime (100–120 J) where the material bulged without fracture and (b) high-impact-energy regime (130–150 J) where the material faced catastrophic failure. An overall increase in the load-bearing capacity of the material was found with an increase in the impact energy. The energy–time curves exhibited both linear and nonlinear regions which were attributed to the nucleation and propagation of cracks. Shear bands were observed in the specimens which underwent catastrophic fracture (i.e. 130 J and above); however, significant changes in the features of shear bands were noticed with increase in the impact energy. Fracture surfaces displayed the presence of microvoids, dimples, knobby fracture and river pattern, thus indicating ductile as well as a brittle mode of failure. Transmission electron microscopy results revealed the presence of much finer nano-grains inside the shear bands as compared to the surrounding regions. Finite element simulations exhibited an increase in the shear stress with the propagation of shear bands during the ongoing deformation process.
