← TechnologyWhich risk increases when forging stainless steel above critical temperature in manufacturing?
A)Elevated grain boundary carbide precipitation✓
B)Augmented martensite formation during quenching
C)Decreasing susceptibility to work hardening
D)Improved resistance to intergranular corrosion
💡 Explanation
Grain boundary carbide precipitation increases because chromium depletion occurs via **sensitization**, therefore reducing corrosion resistance; rather than martensite formation, this chromium depletion weakens grain boundaries at elevated temperatures beyond safe forging limits.
