← TechnologyWhich consequence results when isothermal forging induces excessive quenching?
A)Increased martensite formation✓
B)Reduced grain boundary sliding
C)Enhanced creep resistance
D)Elevated ductile fracture risk
💡 Explanation
Increased marten site formation occurs because the excessive quenching during isothermal forging leads to rapid cooling, therefore the austenite transforms into marten site rather than achieving equilibrium phases because slower diffusion kinetics does not allow for alternative microstructures.
