Which mechanism causes decreased strength when heating single-crystal turbine blades?

💡 Explanation

Elevated temperature increases atom mobility, therefore vacancy diffusion allows dislocations to bypass obstacles, leading to creep. Enhanced creep reduces blade strength because plastic deformation occurs at lower stresses rather than fracture. Oxidation only weakens from higher temperatures.
