🔍 Key Concepts

• Cadmium embrittlement in high-strength metals • Common gas turbine blade and disc materials used in aviation and marine applications • Which metals are especially sensitive to stress corrosion cracking and embrittlement from surface contamination

💭 Think About

• Think about which of the listed metals are most commonly used in highly stressed gas turbine rotating parts and blades. • Consider which metal is known for being strong but also somewhat brittle and sensitive to surface contamination and cracking. • Ask yourself: in turbine design, which of these metals would engineers be most concerned about protecting from any sort of embrittlement or surface damage?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which metal in the list is widely used in high-strength turbine components. • Recall which metal is known to be particularly vulnerable to hydrogen or cadmium-induced embrittlement. • Eliminate any metals that are less commonly used as primary structural materials in gas turbine rotating parts.
