Accident & incident history
The uncontained left engine failure was caused by the failure and liberation of the HPT stage 1 aft blade retainer as a result of a fatigue crack in the upper collet radius that originated from a surface connected cluster of Oxide/Carbonitride/Nitride/Carbide (OCNC) particles. Contributing to the failure of the HPT stage 1 aft blade retainer was an unknown material behavior unique to OCNC clusters in Rene 65 material that are surface connected in highly stressed material that may result in a localized reduction of material fatigue life capability.
