The study and determination of causes of fracture of the shaft of the roll working the wire cassette unit by I. A. Kovaleva, P. A. Bobkov, I. A. Ovchinnikova

“…On the basis of the fracture analysis, the main classification features are established: orientation, microgeometry, degree of plastic deformation at fracture and fracture energy, micromechanism of fracture. The fracture surface has a fine-grained fracture (formed under conditions of small plastic deformation) and is characterized by the presence of shiny flat areas on the fracture surfaceThe study of the microstructure after etching in a reagent «Nital» and reagent Oberhoffer. …”

Application of clay minerals in the synthesis of cretaceous mudstones and microstructural analysis of their deterioration mechanism by Shuai Yan, Lijun Han, Lingdong Meng, Weisheng Zhao

“…., are significantly altered with the increase of kaolinite content, resulting in a marked deterioration of the material’s micromechanical properties. This mineralogical and microstructural change transforms the cementation type from homogeneous and dense crystalline cementation to anisotropic and loose argillaceous cementation, exhibiting strong water sensitivity and extremely weak macro mechanical properties, which explains the deterioration and disintegration mechanism of natural mudstones from a micro mineralogical point of view. …”
