Which outcome occurs when thermal stress exceeds turbine disc endurance?

A)Increased creep crack propagation rate
B)Decreased turbine blade leading distortion
C)Enhanced compressive pre-stress retention
D)Improved oxidation resistance coating bonding

💡 Explanation

Increased creep crack propagation results because thermal stress concentrates at pre Nickel-alloy grain boundaries, initiating the Larson-Miller Parameter mechanism exceeding threshold. Therefore accelerated crack growth occurs towards turbine blade failure, rather than slower crack growth at lower stress.
