← ScienceWhich consequence results when exceeding maximum heat load during rapid cycles?
A)Quenching causes increased martensite formation
B)Grain boundary sliding increases creep strain✓
C)Delamination occurs between composite layers
D)Strain hardening reverses dislocation pileup
💡 Explanation
Operating beyond the design limits induces excessive material overheating resulting in enhanced creep, because grain boundary sliding, a thermally-activated mechanism, happens at lower stress. Therefore, increased creep shortens product life rather than the effect being quenching etc.
