Impact properties are related to the toughness of the material. It establishes the material’s inherent ability to resist fracture on application of sudden and high impact. In subsequent paragraphs more details is discussed on this very important structure sensitive property of metals.

Impact properties are determined by tests. These tests are conducted to assess metals ductility and toughness. These two properties in combination define metal’s ability to resist fracture on sudden impact.
