Hello guys,
I'm doing a failure analisys on an aluminum 7075 T6. I think the failure mode is brittle. Attached the SEM image.
The supplier send the "recipe" for the T6. What do you think about this recipe?
Solution Heat treatment: 470°C(880F) - 2h - water cooling
Precipitation: 120°C(250F)2h...
Hey guys,
Need some help to understand the fracture surface attached (SEM images)
The part fractured during assembly, with little stress.
Inthe middle of the fracture there is this kind of inclusion, the way aroud of it looks spherical, and it possible to identify dimples.
Never seen...
Hi guys, just made some some pictures of the microstructure.
Remembering its a 410 Stainless steel.
Does the cracks looks like intergranular cracks? For me not.... What do you Think?https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=70eac7fd-81a5-457a-a51b-2b43b4672afb&file=micro_H.pdf
[highlight #FCE94F]Torsional overload at 0 hours of service?[/highlight]
I thought it maybe could happend during the assembly, excess of torque during the assembly... ?
[highlight #FCE94F]This happened as the barrel was being screwed into the receiver/frame?[/highlight]
Yes, you are right!
It is also a 410 steel the same hardness (40 - 44HRC).
Atteched the side cut of the fracture.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=63d56b25-7f99-4d85-9cc6-0cf924f80da2&file=IMG_7394-1.jpg
Hello Guys,
Need help understanding where this failure started. This is a 410 stainless steel.
The tube failed with 0h of service. I think is torsional overload, starded on the radius at 11/12 o clock (not sure), and also not sure the if its propagate to the left "anticlokwise".
Do you...
