Technology

Which forging die risk increases dramatically when lubricant dynamic viscosity declines sharply?

A)Greater surface finish inconsistency
B)Accelerated thermal fatigue cracking
C)Elevated coefficient of friction
D)Reduced die elastic deformation

💡 Explanation

Reduced dynamic viscosity increases friction during forging, thus local die surface temperature skyrockets, triggering thermal fatigue cracking. Therefore, accelerated thermal fatigue is likely, because substantial temperature cycling occurs, rather than merely altering friction coefficients.
