Which risk increases when applying stress to polycrystalline turbine blades at high temperature?

💡 Explanation

Applying stress at high temperatures causes creep, thus accelerated grain boundary slip becomes more prevalent, because the metal's strength decreases enabling grains to slide past each other. Therefore, the risk of creep failure increases rather than enhanced oxidation resistance, which would require a different alloying strategy.
