Which outcome occurs when residual stress exceeds tolerance during centrifugal casting?

A)Mechanical cracking emerges locally
B)Increased grain size is observed
C)Improved dimensional stability results
D)Dendritic arm spacing increases marginally

💡 Explanation

Mechanical cracking appears locally because the **stress corrosion cracking** mechanism initiates at grain boundaries when residual tensile stress interacts with a corrosive foundry environment; therefore, cracking appears rather than dimensional stability because yielding cannot relieve the high stress fast enough.
