The mechanism by which failures occur due to material defects isoften circuitous and not readily apparent. In this case study, theauthors examine the failure of a medium-sized pinion used in amining application. The mode of failure was rather catastrophic innature but did not follow any of the typically understoodmechanisms such as tooth bending, surface distress, wear, etc. Thispaper presents a summary of the failure, its investigation and themethods proposed for its resolution.
