The present study is focused on the failure of a die used in plastic injection moulding. The die was made from AISI H13 steel and was intended for the production of plastic cups used for the outer closure of cylindrical aluminium cans in coffee packaging. The appearance of the die provides a clear picture of degradations. Extended corrosion damage on various areas of the metallic part and a wide crack can be observed by the naked eye. Hardness measurements and chemical analysis eliminated the probability of faulty material selection or improper heat treatment. Visual inspection, macro-examination and microscopic observations of representative failed parts revealed that the failure was caused by corrosion that led to the total cracking of the die. The design deficiency and improper cooling conditions generated a complex fatigue-corrosion cracking mechanism that lead to the damage of the die after half of it's predicted service life.
