外文资料翻译 Steel bearing plates appeared to have failed during service due to wear damage. The subsequent failure analysis revealed that the observed surface damage was the result of widespread plastic deformation and smearing associated with a network of surface crazing, rather than wear. Additionally, the majority of the bearing plates examined met microstructural specifications, although both the carbon and manganese contents were below the specified limits. The deficiencies in carbon and manganese lowered the hardenability of the alloy and may have contributed to the need for an overly severe quench during the heat treatment processing employed during manufacture. The microstructures and resulting properties of carbon steel—perhaps one of the most versatile materials in today’s world—can be manipulated to suit any number of service applications. The most common means of structure/property manipulation employ the use of heat treatment and/or surface treatment during the manufacturing process. These processes often involve numerous variables that must be controlled precisely in order to achieve the desired microstructural and mechanical properties, and even a small deviation in alloy chemistry and/ or processing technique can result in the compo-nent becoming unfit for the intended service. The analysis presented in this paper focuses on the fail-ure analysis of a component that was quenched, tempered, and austenitic nitrocarburized in prep-aration for service. Although it appeared that all of the parameters specified for the component had been achieved as a result of the applied processing steps, components experienced a significant number of failures during service. One of the primary find-ings of the following failure analysis is that a component does not necessarily meet specifications simply because a specific set of processing require-ments have been fulfilled; oftentimes one must take a step back and examine not only whether specified requirements are achieved
