Technology

After forging of turbine blades, which consequence results when residual stress gradient concentrates near the blade's edge?

A)Localized corrosion crack propagation
B)Improved fatigue life cycle
C)Enhanced creep resistance behavior
D)Uniform surface hardness increase

💡 Explanation

Localized corrosion occurs due to increased electrochemical potential at stressed regions, because the **stress corrosion cracking** mechanism accelerates material breakdown in high-stress zones; therefore crack propagation occurs, rather than the blade entering a higher energy state with improved qualities.
