Análisis y Modo de Falla de la Biela para un Telar de Cintas Automático

Abstract

This document looking for analyze and identify the main failure of the connecting rod which supports the principal roller of an automatic tape’s loom found in a plastic industry; after establishing what kind of material was the connecting rod made and carrying out different tests based on that material. As it was said before it is necessary to know the piece which will be studied and this includes its chemical and physical characteristics, also it is necessary to know what kind of function the piece accomplishes, to have a general idea about the strength it applies; and finally, to determine why the piece fails. Primarily, it is made a visual analysis of the connecting rod through a stereoscope to determine the possible origin of the failure, after that it is carried out the spectrometry proof through electronical scan microscopy to recognize the chemical components of the piece; after that it is made some metallographic proves to visualize microscopically the failure; finally, it is carried out hardness and micro hardness proves to determine the physical characteristics of the material.
