The shaft and the bearing of sugar cane mill undergo excessive wear under normal operation conditions. Optical microscope and scanning electron microscope were used to characterize surface phenomena in the tribological pair steelbronze. Abrasive particle marks were founded on the surface of the shaft; they reduce the fatigue strength, since they induce the superficial crack growth. The cracks grow in a semilliptical or circumferential shape. Over heating of the bearing do produce lead segregation and fusion, promoting the cracks formation and propagation.
