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.

Aspect of the broken cylindrical roller bearing, presenting the internal diameter full of cracks; and the fracture revealing two different morphologies, flat and smooth close to the external diameter (that appeared white in the macrography); and rough close to the internal diameter (that appeared dark in the macrography).

Cm - Aspect Before AnalysisDf - Fracture
Aspect of the internal diameter surface presenting several cracks in the axial direction, caused by the contact with the shaft. The roller bearing presented a too low hardness level (21 HRc average) in this ID position.
