Which risk increases when grinding turbine blades post-casting?

💡 Explanation

Heat generation during grinding induces a martensitic transformation because the temperature rises rapidly above the austenite finish temperature, therefore creating a hard, brittle, untempered martensite surface layer, rather than desired ductile metallic characteristics.
