← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when excessive preheating induces grain growth during die forging of a steel alloy?
A)Reduced fatigue life occurs✓
B)Improved corrosion resistance results
C)Increased hardness occurs overall
D)Enhanced creep strength develops
💡 Explanation
Reduced fatigue life occurs because accelerated grain growth weakens grain boundaries through the Hall-Petch effect; therefore the material fractures more easily under cyclic loading rather than exhibiting improved mechanical properties.
