← TechnologyWhich risk increases significantly when excessively reducing turbocharger impeller shaft diameter?
A)Compressor surge stalling occurs quickly
B)Erosion from cavitation accelerates sharply
C)High-cycle fatigue failure happens faster✓
D)Thermal choke flow becomes constricted
💡 Explanation
Reduced diameter raises stress concentration; therefore high-cycle fatigue becomes much more likely due to increased cyclic strain from turbine operation. This is because **stress concentration** causes premature failure rather than immediate surge or cavitation, occurring under design limits.
