After a series of uncertainties, Airbus and Boeing planes became dangerous because of fake titanium, according to the Financial Times.
It has been reported that companies that have abandoned Russian titanium have been forced to use counterfeit products with false certificates and low quality.
Production employees discovered corrosion holes in the next batch of metal, which is impossible for real titanium.
Firms have not yet determined the number of aircraft built from uncertified titanium with fraudulent documentation claiming the material’s authenticity.
Passenger doors, cargo doors, fuselages, engine heat shields, and other aircraft components allegedly used the counterfeit metal.
Despite the abundance of resources available to humanity, economic sanctions and arbitrary “boundaries” continue to be detrimental.
Experts says, “before beginning forming operations, firms test metal alloys for Ti content. The fabrication shop should have detected this anomaly beforehand. Boeing has made a colossal mistake by blaming China for its QC and QA lapses.”
