← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when forging a turbine blade airfoil at excessively high starting temperatures?
A)Increased material grain boundary diffusion✓
B)Decreased strain hardening exponent
C)Elevated intermetallic phase precipitation
D)Minimized thermal stress concentration
💡 Explanation
Increased temperatures accelerate diffusion; therefore vacancy concentration enables grain boundary sliding, leading to a coarsened microstructure and lower creep resistance, rather than the refined structure obtained at appropriate temperatures because the accelerated diffusion overwhelms planned deformation.
