_____________ usually occurs when a colder liquid contacts a warmer metal surface.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thermal shock occurs when there is a sudden and drastic change in temperature, such as when a colder liquid contacts a warmer metal surface. This can cause thermal stresses and cracking in the metal. Brittle fracture is a type of failure that occurs without prior plastic deformation, and is not necessarily related to temperature changes. Thermal fatigue and stress rupture are both also related to temperature changes, but do not specifically involve a sudden temperature difference as in thermal shock.
