Resumen:
This paper describes the analysis and investigation of the causes of the
failure of an hydraulic press jaw face grip. Analysis of the fractured
surfaces indicated the creation of cracks due to stress concentrators as
a result of defective design. On the other hand, metallographic
examination revealed the presence of aligned clusters of primary
carbides that along with the stress concentrators induced the premature
failure of the grip.
