Abstract

: A Fe-35Mn-1C alloy with a foam structure, incorporating 5% potassium carbonate (K2CO3), was successfully synthesized, demonstrating an austenite phase and an acceptable degradation rate for an implant candidate. However, excessive carbon content led to the formation of a graphite phase and increasing hardness. To address this, variations in lower carbon composition (0% and 0.5%) were explored to enhance mechanical properties and achieve a fully austenite phase with non-magnetic properties. Mechanical alloying of the powder materials was performed using the rotary mixing method and was followed by sintering process in argon atmopher. The sintered samples underwent comprehensive characterization, including physical, chemical, mechanical properties, and degradation behavior. The Fe-Mn-C biomaterial exhibited an austenite and manganese oxide phase with a favorable degradation rate. This study showed K2CO3 is not only as a foaming agent but also could contribute to carbon alloying into the Fe-Mn alloy system.

Abstract

Wire rope slings are critical in heavy lifting operations, yet their failure remains a persistent safety concern. This paper presents a case study of a catastrophic sling rupture that occurred during a heavy lifting trial, despite the lift being within its rated capacity. A multi-faceted failure analysis identified hidden corrosion fatigue at the sling’s ferrule and an unanticipated extreme overload condition as the primary technical root causes. Procedural and organizational factors—including inadequate risk assessment, deviation from critical lift protocols, and failure to act on prior lessons—also contributed to the incident. The contractor’s investigation is critically reviewed against best-practice Root Cause Analysis guidelines, highlighting both strengths and gaps in its methodology. Key lessons to improve lifting safety are discussed, such as implementing rigorous inspection and retirement criteria for aging slings and ensuring comprehensive lift planning. Overall, the case underscores the importance of robust investigation practices and effective organizational learning to prevent similar failures in the future.
