Abstract

Examples of failure of mechanical parts on account of the microstructural defects or heterogeneity are described. The evaluation of defect problematic was carried out using light and scanning electron microscopy. The root detected cause of problems was in a form of coarse particles in the microstructure, intensive line spacing or banding in the material. The influence of combination of intensive stress and inappropriate orientation of parts towards the direction of forming of semi-products was often observed. A rigorous approach to the material selection and the appropriate quality control of semi-products has to be considered to prevent the risk of a failure of engineering parts.
