← TechnologyWhich consequence results when casting a steel turbine blade in a vacuum?
A)Increased ductile fracture resistance✓
B)Elevated critical cooling temperatures
C)Marginal grain boundary precipitation
D)Reduced internal compressive stresses
💡 Explanation
Increased ductile fracture resistance occurs due to vacuum degassing removing dissolved gases, which limits pore formation via heterogeneous nucleation during solidification rather than causing embrittlement; therefore, toughness increases rather than strength reduction.
