Popis: During operation, the railway axle is exposed to static, cyclic and dynamic loading that is accompanied by influence of corrosive environments. This causes the accumulation of structural and mechanical damages in the material, formation of corrosion and mechanical micro-defects that are potential sites of fatigue crack nucleation and growth. This requires the development of failure analysis methods that allow determining main mechanisms of ferrite-pearlite steels fracture on the micro scale level. The railway axle’s material – the OSL steel – main regularities of temperature influence on fracture mechanisms in ferrite-pearlite steel type are shown. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of fracture surface of Charpy specimens tested at 20°C and -40°C was performed on micro scale level using SEM investigation.
