Which defect results when uneven cooling occurs during closed-die forging of a metal component?

💡 Explanation

Uneven cooling causes residual stress concentration because differing temperatures invoke varied contraction rates. This **thermal gradient mechanism** introduces internal stresses at the microstructural level; therefore components warp, rather than maintain intended dimensions, owing to balanced stress profiles.
