Purpose of Visit :
Premature failure of bearing at WRM
Visited By M-IE-F
Photographs : Complete failed bearing not available .Only a few parts available .It was difficult to come to a
conclusion on the shape,size,nature(axial/circumferential) of primary crack /damage from these failed
portions.Kindly refer to the photographs enclosed.
Contamination is also at times responsible for failures.Discussion with Foremen at the WRM Roll shop unofficially through
questioning.Bearings may have contamination from mounting,according to them. Some contaminants include oxide scale /
particles which may go in the inner ring- roll journal interface and affect fit.
