← ScienceWhich consequence results when dislocation pinning fails in polycrystalline turbine blades?
A)Accelerated creep rate reduction
B)Increased ultimate tensile strength
C)Premature fatigue crack initiation✓
D)Suppressed grain boundary diffusion
💡 Explanation
Premature fatigue crack initiation occurs because dislocation pinning normally prevents the movement of dislocations through the crystal lattice, therefore plasticity occurs much easier once pinning fails, rather than grain boundary sliding which is far less direct.
