couldn’t you say that it abraded way to nothing and then fractured, though or is this me being confused because fracturing is a specific metallurgical phenomenon or something that didn’t happen here
Yes, fracturing is a specific term not used for just any failure. There’s several terms to describe material failure modes that I’m loosely aware of but at this point wouldn’t use without looking them up.
I’m going to have to look up how fracture is used here because it doesn’t meet a layman’s term but maybe it meets some technical definition and we all know about a being technically right.
I would think how you described it is exactly what happened.
