Single particle impact testing has been carried out to evaluate the attrition by chipping of ionic single crystals of MgO, NaCl and KCl, used as model materials having a semi-brittle failure mode. The results have verified the theoretical predictions presented in Part 1. The dimensionless attrition propensity parameter, eta = pv(2)lH/K-c(2), is shown to account for the dependence of the material loss per impact on the material properties, impact velocity and particle size. The `chipping' mechanism of impact attrition is further confirmed by the observations of the impact damage by the use of scanning electron microscopy. In addition, the influence of rigidity of target materials on attrition rate is also addressed.
