To address the premature cracking of a certain type of transmission sleeve, a comprehensive failure analysis was performed using methods including chemical composition analysis, hardness testing, case-hardening depth measurement, metallographic examination and microscopic fractography. The results indicate that the failure was primarily caused by two synergistic factors. Firstly, excessive blocky ferrite in the core microstructure led to insufficient core hardness, resulting in poor hardness compatibility with the connected main shaft and sun gear. Secondly, the actual fillet radius at the root of the internal spline was below the design lower limit, which aggravated the local stress concentration effect. Under cyclic loading, the combined action of these two effects initiated and propagated cracks at the fillet of the internal spline tooth root, leading to the final failure. Based on these findings, corresponding improvement measures are proposed from the aspects of optimizing the material heat treatment process and controlling critical structural dimensions.
