Which risk increases when forging turbine blades with excessive decarburization?

💡 Explanation

An increased depth of decarburization reduces the surface hardness and strength of the formed turbine blades because it promotes decreased carbon content at grain boundaries which reduces resistance to crack formation via surface fatigue. Therefore, fatigue life expectancy reduces, rather than an increase in creep resistance which requires homogenous material.
