Which risk increases when ceramic turbine blade lattices experience high temperature gradients?

💡 Explanation

Increased creep strain accumulation happens because high temperature gradients cause thermally-activated dislocation climb along lattice defects, resulting in increased plastic deformation under stress. Therefore, local creep strain increases rather than uniform oxidation or phase transitions that reduce overall component lifetime.
