Diagnosing torsional fatigue, misalignment wear, and contact stress fatigue (spalling). Failure Mechanisms At-A-Glance Failure Mechanism Primary Visual Indicators Common Root Causes Prevention Strategy Fatigue Beach marks, striations, initiation site Cyclic loading, sharp radiuses, surface roughness Increase fillet radii, shot peening, lower cyclic stress Brittle Fracture Flat surface, chevron patterns, shiny facets Low temperatures, high constraint, material defects Select materials with higher impact toughness (DBTT) Ductile Fracture Necking, dimpled topography, dull appearance Severe overloading, improper cross-sectional design If you share with third parties, their policies apply
The handbook provides specialized chapters on how certain items fail: Shafts and Gears Pressure Vessels and Piping Welded Fabrications Accessing the ASM Handbook Volume 11 (PDF)
In addition to failure analysis, the ASM Metals Handbook, Volume 11, provides guidance on failure prevention strategies, including: : Using magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, or ultrasonic
General wastage, pitting corrosion, galvanic corrosion, and microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) degrade metal thickness and create stress concentrators.
The complete volume can be purchased directly through the ASM International website as an e-book or a hardcopy-digital bundle.
This is the heavy lifting of the book. It catalogs how metals die:
