Brittle Failure of a Soft Roller Bearing
M - Wear Resistant SteelP - Roller BearingAp - Mechanical IndustryCd - Heat Treatment Defect
Cm - Nital Etched Micrography by OMDf - Ferrite
Ferritic structure close to the internal diameter of the cylindrical roller bearing, in the circuferemtial direction, presenting large carbides (not aligned due to the direction of the section) and small round carbides. in this region the fracture presented ductile micromechanisms (dimples) as well as decohesion of large carbides and cleavage facets, typical of overloading of this low toughness material.
