Cm - Aspect Before AnalysisDf - General View
The shaft was removed from service without a failure. It was 4' long and the diameters varied from 2 1/2" to 4 1/2". It was analyzed to be specified for purchasing a new one but properties evidenced bad ductility and brittle behavior even at ambient temperature, associated to a microestruture "as hot rolled".

M - High Carbon SteelP - Wire RopeAp - StructureCd - Corrosion Fatigue
Cm - Aspect Before AnalysisDf - General View
General aspect of the degradated wires of the strand, most part presenting rust and rupture. There are two mais aspects of the degradation: wire thickness reduction by corrosion and cracks creating a longitudinal fracture of several wires.
