Case Study - Broken Gooseneck - v2 - 24sept21 - ABJ

The document summarizes a failure analysis of a broken gooseneck component used to connect a cabin and dump structure and carry hot slag pots. Visual, macroscopic, microscopic, chemical composition, and mechanical testing examinations were conducted to determine the cause of failure. The examinations aimed to identify if the failure occurred in the weld, heat-affected zone, or base metal and to examine the fracture surface, microstructure, composition, and properties to check for defects from the welding or heat treatment processes.

Fishbone Diagram
Objective & Scope

 To determine primary caused of the


broken gooseneck, therefore can take
the proper corrective action, and
prevent the failure happen in future.
 Gooseneck used to connect cabin and
dump structure.
 Gooseneck as carrier of slag pot with
temperature slag on pot around 1000
°C.
 Gooseneck had been crack and then
welded by mechanic.
Examinations

Visual Examination Macroscopic Examination Microscopic - Metallographic


Examination

Chemical Composition Analysis Mechanical Testing Check Track Record


Consideration of Choosing The
Examinations
 Visual Examination
 To determine whether the failure was located in the weld, the HAZ, or the base metal.
 Macroscopic Examination
 To determine the direction of crack growth and hence the origin of failure.
 Microscopic - Metallographic Examination
 To determine fracture surface topography that indicates a fracture mode (transgranular or intergranular); identify if any
presence of second-phase particles at grain boundaries; reveal the heat treatment and possible deficiencies in heat
treatment such as decarburization at the surface; and reveal possible overheating through coarsening of grain, and
solution and precipitation of MnS, segregation.
 Chemical Composition Analysis
 To confirm the chemistry of microstructural features that may be confused
with fracture features. Conducting EDS is also an option.
 Mechanical Testing
 To assist in evaluating heat treatment (comparing the hardness of the failed component with that prescribed by
specification); provide an estimate of the tensile strength of steel; detect softening or hardening caused by overheating,
decarburization; and check the failed component material comply with the specification or not.
 Check Track Record
 To check the welding procedure and material, if added, for the previous cracking case
