Breaking thick cast iron

[jonkrame]

Hello, I need to size reduce cast 10" thick cast iron plates using an attachment on the end on an excavator for a nuclear decomissioning. What material properties can I use to determine the amount of impact energy from a jackhamemr it would require. Also, what material properties can I use to determine the amount of compressive stress the cast iron will take before it fractures? Thank you very much.
