Need samples or photos of failed parts
Need samples or photos of failed parts
(OP)
I'll be teaching two ASM courses this coming year; one on Principles of Failure Analysis and one on Wear and Corrosion of Metals and Alloys. I'm looking for some good photos, or better yet, samples, dealing with the above subject, in particular samples of failures such as fatigue, brittle failure,tensile overload, corrosion, creep rupture, etc. I have a lot of material dealing with turbines and pumps. I'm looking for samples or photos of parts outside of those fields (automotive, gears, paper or steel industry, etc.)
All photos and/or parts will be acknowledged. If you can help, please e-mail me at Buckandmauri@AOL.com.
Thanks a million

RE: Need samples or photos of failed parts
There are so many available through official investigation reports into industrial accidents.
Nominate either an industry or a particular kind of failure and I'll track one down.
Interested in shipboard failures? Lots of those involving metal failure - corrosion, fatigue. Fuel pipes (fixed and flexible), cargo slings and cables.
How about a chairlift collapse?
Natural gas pipeline failure through corrosion - look up the Carlsbad, New Mexico, pipeline fire on the NTSB (US) site.
Want cold embrittlement fracture - a reactor in Belgium and a heat exchanger in Australia.
Try the Safteng site and look for hydrostatic test failures.
You will also find photos of the consequences of failure which should emphasise the message.
Cheers,
John.
