In this study, titanium carbide (TiC) coatings were grown on the surface of a spheroidal
graphite cast iron (SGI) via thermo-reactive diffusion (TRD) using powder-pack processing at …

The automotive industry is undergoing a major transformation driven by regulations and a
fast-paced electrification. A critical analysis of technological trends and associated …

This paper proposes a fully automated vision system to inspect the whole surface of
crankshafts, based on the magnetic particle testing technique. A stepper motor combined …

In this study the failure and stress analysis of the connecting rod of turbocharged diesel
engine was performed. Visual examination of the fracture showed that beach marks, typical …

This study investigated the use of acoustic emission (AE) signals for the crack initiation
detection in a ductile cast iron, EN-GJS700-2. Uniform uniaxial tensile tests were performed …

Failure analysis was performed on the light truck diesel engine crankshaft made of CK45
steel. Premature failure has been reported in the fillet zones of the main journal-to-crankpin …

In this article, high-cycle bending fatigue and fracture behaviors of the EN-GJS700-2 ductile
cast iron, which has been widely utilized for crankshafts in engines, was experimentally …

A failure investigation was performed into the fractured 42CrMo4 crankshaft used for wide-
body mining dump truck in this paper. Fracture morphology, chemical composition …

The subject of this study was fatigue crack initiation detection in a ductile cast iron (EN-GJS-
700–2) crankshaft. The specimens extracted from the crank web of a car crankshaft were …

Maintenance of equipment requires constant monitoring of the components that constitute a
mechanical system, as well as the monitoring of the conditions of service, among others …
