Which outcome results when thermal gradients cause differential phase transformations during forging?

A)Increased residual stress concentration✓

B)Improved grain boundary homogeneity

C)Enhanced ductility at cooler regions

D)Faster recrystallization kinetics onset

💡 Explanation

Increased residual stress develops due to differential phase transformation at varying temperatures because of the martensitic transformation mechanism. Therefore, stress concentrates near heat gradients, rather than uniform ductility because rapid cooling locally hardens specific areas.
