← ScienceWhich risk increases when turbine blade cooling fails?
A)Creep deformation accelerates significantly✓
B)Grain boundary sliding decreases modestly
C)Dislocation climb decelerates slightly
D)Solidification temperature drops rapidly
💡 Explanation
Accelerated creep deformation occurs because of thermally-activated vacancy diffusion within the crystal lattice, which is enhanced by excessive heat; therefore, the creep answer is appropriate, rather than the others where creep rates are irrelevant when the turbine fails.
