A completely smooth surface depression caused by pressure or impact from a smooth, rounded foreign object. The parent material is displaced, but none is separated.
Peen

Any condition that causes a part to differ from the manufacturer's blueprint.

Imperfection
Irregularity
Discontinuity
An interruption in the normal physical structure or configuration of a part.

Distortion
Any twisting, bending or permanent strain that results in misalignment or change of shape.

Gradual wearing away of a surface caused by a fluid (gas or liquid) flowing over the surface. Wear is generally caused by fine particles of foreign material entrained in hot engine gases flowing at a high velocity.

Fatigue
The progressive fracture of a material under cyclic stress loading.
Crystallization
Fretting

Flaking
See " Spalling"

Fretting
Wearing away by low-amplitude rubbing against another metal (generally associated with press fit or close fitting parts).
Wear
Galling
Galling
A defect caused by the movement of 2 surfaces in contact with each other. In most cases, an accumulation of foreign material is deposited on the parent material.
Pickup
Gouge
A wide, rough scratch or group of scratches, usually with one or more sharply incised corners, and frequently accompanied by deformation or removal of parent material.

Groove
A long, narrow, continuous depression caused by pressure of a moving surface in contact with the parent material.
If depression is shallow and smooth, see "Wear"; if depression is sharp, see "Scratch".

High metal
Displaced metal adjacent to a defect such as a scratch, nick or gouge, which is raised above the surrounding.

The condition can also occur to the blade tip shrouds on the LPT rotor (Stg. 3 and 4). The condition on the LPT is usually caused by a loss of pre-twist, too much radial movement, etc.
