MODERATORS
If any of the paperwork is missing or falsified the part is scrap. When we buy material it comes with certified reports on the alloy's component elements.
Inconel is often used around engines for heat resistance. If it has too much of an element that changes at what temperature it becomes ductile you could lose some very important components or systems.
Steel doped with sulfur raises its embrittlement temperature.
They'll be tested to sort out the urgency of the corrective action, but those parts are scrap. Also, someone might be going to prison.
Someone will be going to prison, and there will likely be a full AD if there's a chance more parts got out.
New procedures for parts tracking and distributor custody chain, this is a real nightmare for a bunch of people.
