Evaluation and mechanism investigations of titanium-fire inclusiveness in aeroengine compressor by MI Guangbao, SUN Ruochen, QIU Yuehai, DONG Fuli

“…Under the action of heat transfer， the kinetic energy of the atoms in the base of the titanium alloy cartridge increases rapidly， forming a penetrating liquid phase， and finally causing burn-through， that is， titanium non-inclusiveness failure. When the droplet moves horizontally in the process of extended combustion， it will be affected by some mechanism such as reverse airflow， which will weaken the expansion effect. …”
