← TechnologyWhich failure mode occurs when forging turbine blades using isothermal processing with excessive dwell time?
A)Grain growth and reduced creep✓
B)Increased phase transformation kinetics
C)Enhanced texture strengthening effects
D)Uniformly refined secondary carbides
💡 Explanation
Extended dwell periods in isothermal forging promote abnormal grain growth because Ostwald ripening reduces interfacial energy, leading to larger grains and diminished creep resistance; therefore, creep strength decreases, rather than refined microstructure, at high-temperature conditions.
