Which risk increases when titanium alloy turbine blades operate near their fatigue endurance limit?

💡 Explanation

Fast crack propagation increases as the blades enter resonance from cyclic stress, thereby accelerating corrosion cracking because the oscillating stress exceeds the material's ability to resist crack growth. Therefore, accelerated corrosion cracking is expected, rather than creep which occurs via different mechanisms at higher temperatures.
