And yes, I've seen a raw material defect or two - foreign material inclusions, a forging lap so blatant it failed on the first engine runup, sharp-corner stress riser, crack originating from the p/n marking area. . .

Highly engineered materials that must be properly manufactured, or they are guaranteed to fail!
