Rocket Explosion Caused By Microscopic Defects

I saw this great video of a rocket engine exploding during a test and discovered this was part of detailed scientific paper which looked at how the defects that destroyed the engine were the result of quality control during the additive manufacturing process. Rather than just repost the video as a short, here's some more detail on the problems in the manufacturing, and the consequences on the test stand. Here's the paper if you want to go into the microscopic details: Additively manufactured GRCop-42 copper-alloy combustion chamber failure analysis: The role of build interruptions Gabriel Demeneghi, Benjamin Williams, Colton Katsarelis, William Tilson & Paul Gradl https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1350630725004510?via%3Dihub Follow me on Twitter for more updates: https://twitter.com/DJSnM I have a discord server where I regularly turn up: https://discord.gg/zStmKbM If you really like what I do you can support me directly through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/scottmanley
