Abstract

In the present work, a failed connecting rod from a motorcycle and a diesel generator was investigated for the root cause of and possible mechanisms leading to its premature failure. In addition to finding the root cause, the expectation from the study was to possibly improve the existing designs or practices to avoid similar failure in future. These results were validated using a finite element analysis. A scanning electron microscope was used for studying the microstructure and visual inspection was primarily utilized to determine the root cause of the failure. In conclusion, it was determined that the root cause for the premature failure of the connecting rod was the presence of scale built up inclusions, which lead to micro cracking during fatigue loading of the component
