摘要

White etching crack (WEC) networks were characterized in heavy loaded bearings for wind turbines. Both conventional techniques as reflected light microscopy and (scanning and transmission) electron microscopy as well as electron backscatter diffraction and ion channelling contrast imaging were applied. The complementary use of the techniques in unravelling the complicated failure mechanisms is explored in the present work.
