Technology

Which deviation from intended dimension occurs when tooling temperatures are excessive during closed-die forging of high-strength steel?

A)Increased elastic recovery (springback)
B)Elevated residual stress (tensile)
C)Acceleration of work hardening rate
D)Mitigation of intergranular corrosion

💡 Explanation

Elevated tooling temperature induces increased tensile residual stress because thermal expansion mismatches accelerate plastic deformation at the surface, therefore higher tensile stresses remain following quenching, rather than elastic recovery, as cooler dies would limit plastic flow.
