Which outcome occurs when a metal forging experiences variations in grain flow during hammer forging?

💡 Explanation

Fatigue loading causes increased crack propagation because non-uniform grain flow introduces stress concentrations that allow cracks to initiate and grow faster than in uniform structures. Therefore, the fatigue life decreases, rather than resistance improving under cyclic stress loading during operation.
