Abstract
The paper deals with complex material analysis of a shaft after failure. The shaft was operated as part of an "Abradable rig" device used to test the resistance of coatings at high speeds, which simulates a turboprop engine's operating conditions. The shaft is made of 16MnCr5 material with subsequent cementation. The subject of interest is a complex material analysis (i.e. control of the chemical composition of the material and complete fractographic and metallographic analysis) and verification of the shaft design. The aim of the study is a precise determination of the specific cause of component failure.
