    Crankshaft replacement on a medium speed engine can become necessary after a bearing failure if damage to the crankshaft journals has occurred. On older engines a 0.4% carbon steel (EN8 or BS970 080M40) was used for the manufacture of crankshafts. On a none hardened crankshaft, bending and cracking can occur, together with localised hardening.

    Modern crankshafts for medium speed engines are manufactured from high tensile steel for instance a 3% chromium
    molybdenum nitriding steel (EN40B or BS 970 722M24). Whether these shafts are surface hardened or otherwise, the
