Engineering Failure Analysis 13 (2006) 835–842 /locate/engfailanal Fracture analysis of gear pump used for polymer production Tezcan Sekercioglu * Mechanical Engineering Department, Pamukkale University, Camlik 20020, Denizli, Turkey Received 20 January 2005; accepted 20 February 2005 Available online 20 April 2005 Abstract In this study, the fracture of gears for polymer injection pumps fabricated via P/M (powder metallurgy) is investi- gated. In order to study the causes of the fractures, specimens prepared from the damaged gears were subjected to hard- ness, chemical analysis and metallurgical tests. The effect of microstructure on the fracture was also considered. Detailed metallurgical analysis was conducted on the fractured gears and compared with the unfailed gears in service. Results showed that gears hardness values were higher than values stated in the literature. Geometrical analysis of the gears revealed that early failure of the structure started from a sharp corner radius by which stress concentrations are created in the gear keyway. 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

Introduction Polymer gear pumps have been used in manufacturing processes since the early 1970s. High-pressure (100–200 bar) polymer gear pumps are typically used in applications such as polyester, polystyrene, poly- ethylene, ABS and other engineered polymers. Manufactured end products include filament, staple, chip and film. These high-pressure gear pumps are also used in recycling processes, such as converting PET bot- tle
