← TechnologyWhich forging defect arises when billet temperature unevenness induces non-uniform material flow?
A)Cold shut formation✓
B)Surface oxidation scaling
C)Grain size segregation
D)Work hardening embrittlement
💡 Explanation
Cold shut formation occurs because differential thermal expansion causes portions of the metal to not fully fuse during forging. Correct bonding requires intimate metallic contact, therefore, cold shuts form rather than homogeneous structures forming with constant temperature.
