Technology

Which outcome is most likely as a lathe's spindle bearings experience increased temperatures due to inadequate coolant?

A)Thermal expansion reducing machining precision
B)Increased material hardness and brittleness
C)Elevated resistance to cutting tool wear
D)Decreased friction coefficient during operation

💡 Explanation

Thermal expansion causes reduced machining precision because increased heat weakens tolerances within the spindle and workpiece. Therefore, overall dimensional control degrades, rather than an improbable increase in material hardness or decreased friction since the opposite effect is far more probable.
