Abstract:
      The causes of certain type aircraft connecting bolt failure were analyzed with fracture inspection, X-ray energy analysis, and trace analysis. The results showed that the causes are fretting fatigue crack, and cadmium embitterment; cadmium embitterment is further induced by fretting fatigue cracks. The fretting fatigue cracks presented before the aircraft was overhauled, and cadmium penetrated into the inner of fretting fatigue cracks during cadmium plating of complete overhaul, and then the cadmium embitterment happened in service.
