← TechnologyWhich thermal runaway risk increases significantly when coolant flow fails during precision grinding of hardened steel?
A)Excessive residual tensile stress
B)Martensitic transformation formation
C)Surface micro-crack propagation
D)Tempering induced softening occurs✓
💡 Explanation
Tempering induced softening is more likely post-grinding because inadequate coolant causes elevated temperatures, creating metallurgical phase changes via thermal activation as the mechanism, therefore, the surface softens, rather than retaining hardness.
