To enhance the efficiency of hard rock fragmentation and excavation and to provide a theoretical basis for microwave-assisted rock breaking, this study investigates the dynamic mechanical response of magnetite ore specimens subjected to various microwave parameters using a microwave irradiation system and a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus.Subsequently, a multi-scale analysis was performed, including P-wave velocity measurements, infrared thermography, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), to investigate the effects of microwave irradiation on the specimens' dynamic mechanical properties and failure characteristics.The results indicate that the P-wave velocity of magnetite specimens decreases with increasing microwave irradiation time, a reduction positively correlated with the specimen's maximum axial temperature difference. As the irradiation time increases, both the dynamic peak stress and elastic modulus decrease, while the peak strain increases.Furthermore, the post-peak behavior transitions from brittle to more ductile. When the microwave irradiation time is constant, the dynamic increase factor (DIF) of magnetite specimens increases with rising impact pressure.Conversely, when the impact pressure is constant, the DIF value initially increases with microwave irradiation time before decreasing. With increasing microwave irradiation time, the impact fracture pattern becomes dominated by tensile and tensile-shear failure modes, and the corresponding fractal dimension initially increases before decreasing. The selective heating of different mineral constituents by microwaves alters the fracture mode of magnetite from transgranular to intergranular, thereby improving crushing efficiency. However, excessive microwave energy can cause localized melting and slagging, which reduces the formation of internal cracks and, consequently, impairs crushing efficiency.
