... formation was influenced by the presence of larger inclusions. The screw failed was revealed to have failed through a fatigue mechanism by the presence of striations in the scanning electron micrograph. The crack in the plate was revealed to have originated at the upper, outer corner of the plate...

... was of a smooth texture, the fracture was brightly crystalline indicative of a brittle failure. Microscopic examination showed the material was a low-carbon steel in the normalized condition; no abnormal features were observed. The basic cause of failure was the presence of a fatigue crack at the change...

... at an overload fracture near the root of the weld and was followed by mode III fatigue crack propagation (tearing) around the periphery of the weld. The initial overload fracture was caused by a high external load, which produced a concentrated stress and fracture at the weld root. The subsequent fatigue...

The crack, initially open to the outer surface of the rolled and seam welded cylindrical bellows section, was closed when cold forming of the convolutes placed...

Both the leading-edge and trailing-edge seam welds exhibited weld-metal expulsions up to 3.6 mm (0.14 in.) in length. Metallographic examination confirmed that metal expulsion from...

Microscopic examination of longitudinal sections disclosed that the majority of the cracks were broad, these being typical of corrosion-fatigue fissures...

The cracks initiated on one end of the vane and propagated to the other side. In some instances, the cracks had propagated fully. The majority...

Electromagnetic crack detection revealed the presence of a number of discontinuities which were located at a position that would correspond...
