Which risk increases drastically when exceeding an engine's derated temperature?

💡 Explanation

Thermal runaway from elevated temperature accelerates oxidation, because exothermic oxidation reactions increase system temperatures further via positive feedback. Therefore thermal runaway accelerates material degradation rather than a state of equilibrium because cooling strategies and design limits prevent unbounded increases under nominal constraints and steady state behavior.
