â ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a polycrystalline turbine blade experiences prolonged high-temperature creep?
A)Intergranular cavitation damage acceleratesâ
B)Intragranular slip diminishes elongation
C)Transgranular fracture prevents deformation
D)Dislocation climb reinforces grain boundaries
đĄ Explanation
The increase in voids causes cavitation, because grain boundary sliding occurs via vacancy diffusion at elevated temperatures. Intergranular cavitation therefore accelerates crack growth, rather than other plastic deformation mechanisms that would manifest at lower temperatures.
