Abstract
The present article arises from the study of the mechanical behavior of a body composed entirely of iron oxide and iron oxide and chip alloys through the experimental determination of resistance to impact by dynamic action through the application of loads of impact provided by a Charpy pendulum. The resistive evaluation will be useful for the development of new engineering materials, either to design structures or to design and manufacture machine parts. The study also evaluates the materials’ level of absorption of impact energy, or their capacity to partially absorb the energy from the impact loads. Possible applications include the design of new materials for use in the automotive industry, for example for collision protection systems for vehicles, among others. The tested materials are derived from metallurgical processes that involve various stages of iron smelting, from melting and casting of the metal until obtaining the test specimens.
Highlights
The study of the effects of impacts on bodies is of utmost importance for structure design, because impact loads are dynamic demands that, though infrequent, may produce catastrophic consequences [1]

The methodology of this study focuses on an assessment of the mechanical properties of materials derived from foundry processes, evaluating any changes in chemical composition in terms of molecular structure, based on the understanding that certain materials may be combined with others, i.e. alloys are used to obtain a material based on the combination of two or more solid metal elements [4]
Summary
The study of the effects of impacts on bodies is of utmost importance for structure design, because impact loads are dynamic demands that, though infrequent, may produce catastrophic consequences [1]. Impacts on structures are short-lasting but highly intensive dynamic loads that have substantial effects of stability. Minerals and scrap metal are usually transformed by means of foundry processes into pure metals, which are subsequently used to manufacture structures or elements required by other industries [4]. In this field, progress has been made to obtain materials and alloys that produce substantial savings in raw materials because of their longer useful lives [5]
