← TechnologyWhen forging turbine blades, which mechanism causes crystalline defects?
A)Grain boundary slide reduces ductility✓
B)Austenite phase transformation raises hardness
C)Work hardening increases tensile strength
D)Diffusion creep decreases heat resistance
💡 Explanation
Grain boundary slide causes crystalline defects because plastic deformation concentrates stress at grain boundaries, therefore reducing ductility rather than increasing strength through dislocation formation typically associated with work hardening during forging.
