Which failure mode occurs when forging turbine blades using isothermal processing with excessive dwell time?

A)Grain growth and reduced creep
B)Increased phase transformation kinetics
C)Enhanced texture strengthening effects
D)Uniformly refined secondary carbides

💡 Explanation

Extended dwell periods in isothermal forging promote abnormal grain growth because Ostwald ripening reduces interfacial energy, leading to larger grains and diminished creep resistance; therefore, creep strength decreases, rather than refined microstructure, at high-temperature conditions.
