ML00131 — Brittle Failure of a Soft Roller BearingM - Wear Resistant SteelP - Roller BearingAp - Mechanical IndustryCd - Heat Treatment Defect
Macrography of a circumferential section of the roller bearing, showing two different structures: one, white and hard (64 HRc), close to the external surface; and the other, dark and soft (21 HRc), close to the internal surface. The hardness in the thickness, close to the interface, is about 50 HRc.
