Failure analysis of titanium tube 1B160012-14 3. 2. 1. Visual inspection Fig. 10 is the exterior appearance of titanium tube 1B160012-14. The wear zone is mainly distributed from 0 to 1700 (Fig. 10(a and b)), but there are no obvious wear traces in the backward direction (Fig. 10(c and d)). the wear zone in the forward direction looks shiny and smooth and is not abraded seriously. But a visible S-shaped furrow crack is found in the wear zone(Fig. 10(e)), which is about 7 mm long parallel to the longitudinal direction and 10 mm long in the circum- ferential direction 3. 2. Microscopic To further observe the morphology characteristics of the furrow crack, 3-D stereo microscope was applied to image the surface wear zone of the tube, shown in Fig. 11. From Fig. 11(a)we can learn that the furrow crack is obviously deeper than3.2. Failure analysis of titanium tube 1B160012-14 3.2.1.
