Which outcome occurs when exceeding the design temperature limit of a gas turbine engine's high-pressure turbine blades?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding temperature limits initiates blade creep because thermally activated dislocation glide within the blade material is exponentially enhanced. Therefore, plastic deformation follows, leading to creep failure, rather than changes to surge margin or combustion efficiency.
