Could it be defective Chinese steel? It wouldn't surprise me.

And this is how stupid rumors get started.

The Boeing 737-700 uses the CFM International CFM56-7 engine. Engines are built either in France or in Ohio, with major components made France, Ohio, and Italy.

If you think there's a Chinese connection, particularly to the single-crystal fan and compressor blades, show it.

Chinese did produce some counterfeit aircraft bolts some years ago. Lower grade steel with the high grade aircraft markings on the head.

I don’t think jet engines are made of steel, I think they are made of aluminum/titanium alloys because steel is too heavy...

But Russia EXPORTS a lot of titanium... MUH RUSSIA!!!!
