Nodular Inhomogeneous Graphitization – Determining Factor of Fatigue Failure

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper investigates the causes that led to the premature failure of a crankshaft (approximately 200 hours) from an engine used in equipment that worked on a construction site for concrete pumping. Microscopic analysis (optic and electronic), chemical and macroscopic investigations were conducted in order to find the causes of breakage of the crankshaft.
