During closed-die forging of a titanium aerospace component, which outcome results when localized die thermal expansion exceeds material flow?

💡 Explanation

Forging die thermal mismatches induce stress concentrations; the stress corrosion cracking mechanism occurs because increased die temperature affects material flow, and localized stresses exceed the material's yield strength. Therefore localized cracks form rather than uniform deformation due to concentrated force.
