Which outcome occurs when rapid, repeated heat cycling of steel turbine blades exceeds design parameters?

💡 Explanation

Elevated creep deformation accumulates because thermal stresses cause microstructural changes during each cycle; specifically, thermal fatigue through dislocation climb increases strain. Therefore, permanent deformation results, rather than phase transformations or other metallurgical changes under stress without heat.
