Component failed by fatigue?
Component failed by fatigue?
(OP)
Hi Guys!
one of our neighouring company passed this component to us and we are figuring what caused the failure. I reckon it was caused by fatigue, but not sure. This component seemed to have a flange like piece connect to a shaft. That's where it failed. It seemed that there are concentric rings propagating from the center of the shaft. I had attached two photos, the matching surface of both the fractured surface.
Thanks!

If you can do this come back for a laundry list of solutions to clean the specimen. I would try to get both side of the break for examination jsut in case.
