I'm not so sure about the labeling on the photo. The region labeled "fatigue cracking" can also be interpreted as a brittle fracture. BUT - The part clearly should have never reached the assembly floor, and should have been a manufacturing engineer's object lesson many months prior.

But the immediate subject of discussion was oil coking, and coking can readily occur without such a manufacturing fubar.
