I have asked that it be completed soon, we are shooting for the next two weeks. Our initial review suggests a machining defect in the fillet radius as the initiation point, However a problem also exists within the microstructure of the material. The combination of the two appears potentially fatal.
On the good side, if the data proves out, we should be able to offer a fairly accurate NDT acceptance model for checking the microstructure of the material before installation.
Well August is around the corner but I still feel there's value for all of us in the outcomes here.
Ejaro-you said you were moving to another resolution and build with Keith; has that happened?
Jason-what came out of the above procedures?
