In mining industry, to transform stone in dust is neccesary to use steel grinding balls in mill equipment. I need an standard and/or procedure to make the Drop Ball Test (DBT)in forging balls?
Drop tests can be performed on the balls to evaluate their resistance to impact wear. These tests involve dropping a ball from a height of 3.4 m onto a 500 mm diameter by 150 mm thick hardened steel anvil.

Many, many thanks Sir. This information is very useful for me.
Kind regards.

Blickensderfer, R. and J. H. Tylczak (1983). "A Large-Scale Impact Spalling Test." Wear 84(3): 361-373.
A unique test apparatus is described that effectively produces spalling on wear-resistant alloys and can be used to study the causes of spalling. The work was conducted by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, as part of an effort to minimize the consumption of strategic materials used during the mining and processing of minerals. The test utilizes balls 75 mm in diameter made of the test alloys, which are dropped a distance of 3.5 m. Multiple impacts over a range of energy are produced between the balls. The unique design of the test apparatus provides a multiplying effect that results in 30 000 or more total impacts per hour on 20 or so test alloys. The four major types of failure that were observed on 22 commercial and experimental alloys that received up to 300 000 impacts are discussed.
