Casing Burned through
location
Near the forward closure, just below the threads
Comments
The motor burned for about 0.5 seconds before letting go. It burned through just below the o-ring groove o the forward, causing the casing to split. It would seem there was erosion of the forward closure allowing exhaust to directly contact the o-ring, which subsequently failed and allowed gases onto the casing.
