Which distortion occurs when asymmetrical cooling follows forging?

💡 Explanation

Uneven cooling creates a temperature gradient, and then thermal stresses, so the mechanism is **differential contraction** causing residual stress concentration because the material shrinks at varying rates. Therefore, internal stress results, rather than surface galling, work hardening, or phase changes.
