What do you call a metal surface that's not prepared for sudden temperature changes? A 'hot head'!

Ah, the age-old battle between thermal shock and stress shock. I'm going with C) Thermal shock, but I'd love to hear a good joke about metal surfaces and temperature differences.

Hmm, I was debating between B) Thermal fatigue and C) Thermal shock, but I'm going with C. It sounds like the most likely scenario here.

I think the correct answer is C) Thermal shock. That makes the most sense to me based on the description.

I agree, C) Thermal shock is the correct answer. It happens when there's a sudden change in temperature.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be B) Thermal fatigue, as repeated heating and cooling can lead to metal failure.

I agree with Francis, because when a colder liquid contacts a warmer metal surface, it can cause thermal shock.
