Fatigue Mechanism

A failure analysis of a broken multi strand wire rope from an offshore platform crane was performed. The wire rope was operated for less than 5 years. The wire consists of seven strands, one central strand and six strands around it. The diameter of the small wires was about 0.78-0.94 mm and the larger wires was a round of 1.52 - 1.78 mm. The large size wires were found fractured by cyclic torsional stresses as characterized by the presence of fatigue cracking originating from the outer surface of the wire. Meanwhile the smaller wires were fractured in a ductile manner under excessive load after the larger wire broken out due to the fatigue mechanism.

ABSTRACT: This paper reports the analyses carried out with the company Pedrini SpA ad unico socio, located in Carobbio degli Angeli, Bergamo (IT). Wire ropes with diamond beads, used as cutting tools in multi-wire machines for cutting blocks of stone, were considered and a failure analysis of the wire ropes was carried out. The aim of the paper is to highlight the damage mechanisms of the wire ropes to increase service life of these cutting tools. Microscope observations and the penetrating liquids method were used to analyze the damaged wire ropes. Fatigue, corrosion and contact fatigue problems were observed and the effect of the centering of the beads on the wire rope was studied.

The Wire

Present work describes the failure analysis of AISI 304 stainless steel lanyard wire rope which has failed during application in humid atmosphere. The wire rope has 7´19 construction which means that it consists of seven strands and each strand having 19 wires twisted in a helical fashion. The microstructures and properties of failed wire rope have been investigated and compared with unused wire rope. Both the periphery and fracture surface of the wire rope display the presence of corrosion debris enriched with O and Cl. The fracture surfaces of the failed and unused wire ropes display intergranular and dimples, respectively. The lanyard wire rope has been exposed in corrosive atmosphere and failed in intergranular mode due to enrichment of O and Cl along the grain boundaries.

Abstract MEMS samples, with their relatively large size and weight, present a unique challenge to the failure analyst as they also included thin films and microstructures used in conventional integrated circuits. This paper describes how to accommodate the large MEMS structures without skimping on the microanalyses needed to get to the root cause. Investigations of tuning folk gyroscopes were used to demonstrate these new techniques.

Wear Damage

Based on the analysis of multi-layer winding arrangement characteristic of the wire rope in Lebus drum, the experimental study is carried on wear distribution of the wire rope in parallel grooved multi-layer winding. The result shows that, the wire rope is arranged regularly in each drum area in parallel grooved multi-layer winding; the wear of wire ropes in crossover zone is more serious than that of the parallel zone; in the same-layer wire rope winding in crossover zone, the wear damage during the wire rope winding in crossover zone at the end of each-layer drum is the most serious.

Pump shafts are generally exposed to the liquid being pumped either on a continual basis or at certain locations along the length of the shaft. The shaft material is austenitic stainless steel, description ASTM AU 79 TY 316. The purpose of this study is to determine the failure of the water pump shaft used in the power plant. Metallography is the study of structure metal shaft can used as a means for CWP metal pelleting (Circulating Water Pump), for the purpose of damaged or deeply degraded areas. SEM test is used to know the beginning of the crack (crack initiation). EDS test is used to chemical composition and Vikers hardness test is also used to know the hardness material. These three tests to support in analyzing the failure of the pump shaft. The conclusion of this failure analysis is the shaft material has porosity. Fatigue cracking comes from the outer surface area.

Fail Safe

An analysis is presented of a reeving arrangement suitable for the hoisting of critical materials requiring fail-safe criteria. The system consists of two independent wire ropes symmetrically threaded through the crown and lower blocks and reeved by a single takeup drum. The analysis provides for the load in each line of the wire rope remaining after failure of one rope occurs. The motion of the lower block and load are also provided for the variety of failure conditions considered. The analysis is useful to predict the effect of various design parameters on the integrity of system in the event of a single component failure.
