AB  - In this study, the performance of austempered compacted graphite iron was evaluated to find its suitability as perforated plates used in add-on armour. Perforated compacted graphite plates were subjected to austenitisation at 900 degrees C for 2 h followed by austempering at 275 and 400 degrees C for 1 h. The basic plate was fixed at 400 mm away from the perforated plate and armour and then piercing incendiary projectile was shot from a distance of 100 m. It was observed that both 7 mm and 9 mm perforated plates austempered at lower temperature of 275 degrees C producing higher hardness and lower ductility were effective in fracturing the penetrating core, thereby significantly decreasing the chances of penetrating the basic plate.

AB  - This paper presents failure analysis of the connecting rod used in a 12-cylinder diesel engine set on a special vehicle. The fracture of the connecting rod occurred during the engine test in laboratory conditions. Chemical and metallographic analysis as well as mechanical testing have confirmed that the material properties of the connecting rod met the requirements of standard specification and technical documentation. Linear finite element (FE) analysis was performed to evaluate stress state of the connecting rod under maximum load. The results of FE analysis showed that the position of the fracture is consistent with the zone of highest stress. Fractographic analysis has not been able to reveal the main cause of mechanism of fracture due to substantially damaged fracture surface. Inadequate machining, absence of polishing and highest stress in the region of fracture were identified as the main causes of failure. Finally, the engine had been working at maximum load for a longer period of time that also led to the breakage of the connecting rod.

AB  - Aircrafts powered by piston engine represent the bulk of the fixed wing fleet. Large majorities of these aircrafts are equipped with single, air-cooled, and horizontally opposed, piston engines. The mechanical failure in any of the piston engine components, especially concerning fatigue failure of the cylinder head (CH) made of an aluminum-casting alloy may have serious or fatal consequences to the safety of the crew and the aircraft. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the root cause(s) of repetitive premature failures in an aircraft engine CH.Two piston engines of the training aircraft Utva-75 have malfunctioned during the flight mission due to the fatigue cracking of their aluminum cast CHs. Visual inspection revealed that transverse cracking had occurred between the fifth and the sixth deep integral cooling fins. Based on the fractographic analysis, observation of the characteristic ratchet and beach marks indicated the occurrence of fatigue failure. The crack initiated from multiple origins located on the inner flange fillet on the exhaust side of the CHs. The metallographic examination revealed that the fatigue was promoted from pre-existing material defect due to a high concentration of shrinkage pores at the initiation crack site and can be most likely associated with the manufacturing process of casting. The finite element method, utilized to determine the stress state of the cylinder assembly, also confirmed that the crack origin was located at the most stressed area of the cylinder assembly, i.e., on the inner flange fillet of the exhaust side of the CH.

AB  - In this paper, austempered ductile iron has been evaluated as an alternative to steel for perforated plates applied in the ballistic protection of military vehicles. The austempering was performed in lower and higher austempering ranges in order to obtain two types of austempered ductile iron: one with a higher strength, and the other with a higher ductility. Perforated plates having two different thicknesses of 7 and 9 mm were mounted in front of basic armour and 12.7 x 99 mm armour piercing incendiary ammunition was fired from 100 m. It was shown that the austempered ductile iron material austempered at a lower temperature has superior ballistic resistance, providing a full (five out of five armour piercing incendiary shots stopped) ballistic resistance if combined with 13 mm basic armour plate. The thicker austempered ductile iron perforated plate provides more significant penetrating core damage, and therefore, lower basic plate damage. On the other hand, the thinner austempered ductile iron material perforated plate can be considered optimal due to its lower weight and higher mass effectiveness. In austempered ductile iron material austempered at a higher temperature, besides a lower hardness, bulk retained low-carbon metastable austenite transforms into martensite through strain induced mechanism, causing a partial brittle fracture.

AB  - Cylinder head (CH) failures in aircraft piston engine may have serious or fatal consequences to the safety of the crew and the aircraft. Moreover, when failure becomes undoubtedly repetitive and critical resulting in loss of aircraft, destruction of properties, and first and foremost loss of human lives, the cause of the failure requires to be investigated using a scientific approach. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate and identify the root cause of a repetitive premature failure in an aircraft engine CH. The piston engine of the training aircraft Utva-75 has malfunctioned during the flight due to the cracking of its aluminum cast CH. It has been the second engine failure of this type of aircraft due to the cracking in the CH in a very short span of time. From the visual examination of the mating fracture surfaces, it has been possible to observe typical beach and ratchet marks indicating the occurrence of fatigue failure. The crack has initiated from multiple origins located on the inner flange fillet on the exhaust side of the CH. Further examinations by using scanning electron microscopy as well as energy dispersive spectroscopy and metallography have shown that the fatigue had promoted from pre-existing material defect due to a high concentration of shrinkage pores at the initiation crack site and can be most likely associated with the manufacturing process of casting. The stress analysis of the cylinder assembly, carried out by means of finite element analysis, has also confirmed that the crack origin was located at the most stressed area of the cylinder assembly i.e. on the inner flange fillet of the exhaust side of the CH. This case study, together with the other recently reported, has definitely confirmed the repetitive and therefore systematic problems with the CH of air cooled, horizontally opposed, aircraft piston engines.

AB  - The piston engine of the training aircraft malfunctioned during the flight due to the cracking of its cylinder head (CH), which is manufactured from an aluminum casting alloy. Based on the fractographic examination of the mating fracture surfaces, the characteristic ratchet and beach marks were observed indicating the occurrence of fatigue failure. The crack was initiated from multiple origins located on the inner flange fillet on the exhaust side of the CH. The metallography examination has shown that the fatigue was promoted from preexisting material defect due to an elevated presence of shrinkage pores at the crack initiation zone and was most likely associated with the manufacturing process of casting. The finite element (FE) method, utilized to determine the stress state of the CH subjected to gas pressure, also confirmed that the crack origin was located at the most stress area.
