← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs during high-speed lathe machining of hardened steel if coolant delivery is insufficient?
A)Increased thermal stress cracking✓
B)Reduced cutting tool vibration
C)Improved surface finish consistency
D)Decreased material deformation rate
💡 Explanation
Insufficient coolant leads to increased temperatures, driving thermal expansion; therefore, *thermal stress concentration* in the workpiece increases, causing surface embrittlement and rapid crack propagation under cyclic stress, rather than better machining conditions.
