The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Boeing 757 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

NTSB records 1

ENG18IA036Incident on September 6, 2018 at Atlanta, GA: no injuries, minor damage.

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Boeing 757 · operated under 121

A right engine turbine uncontainment resulting from failure of the high pressure turbine (HPT) lenticular seal due to a fatigue crack originating from an overheated region at a knife edge tip. Contributing to the failure was Pratt & Whitney’s decision to introduce the temperature-resistant knife-edge coating as a new-part number lenticular seal on an attrition basis without the option to recoat existing lenticular seals, which delayed implementation of the more durable seal material into the fleet.
