Which mechanical risk increases when a turbine blade's grain boundaries weaken?

💡 Explanation

Grain boundary weakening encourages intergranular creep. Because atoms diffuse along weakened boundaries under stress/heat, plastic deformation accelerates rapidly under service load; therefore creep accelerates rather than being connected to the other options’ phenomena.
