Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Two cracked blades belonging to first stage compressor of an aeroengine were forwarded to the laboratory for investigation. Both the blades were found to have failed by fatigue. Examination revealed that erosion of the coating at the leading edge had exposed the blade material to atmosphere. Subsequently, the atmospheric corrosion resulted in the formation of pits which acted as stress concentrators for fatigue crack initiation. The material of construction was found to conform to specification and there was no metallurgical degradation in the blade material on usage. A detailed analysis of the failures is presented in this report.
