Science

Which consequence occurs when defects concentrate in a crystal lattice?

A)Reduced mechanical yield strength
B)Increased thermal conductivity
C)Enhanced electrical conductivity
D)Lowered melting point greatly

💡 Explanation

Local dislocation pile-up causes reduced mechanical yield strength because dislocation motion impedes plastic deformation via dislocation blocking; therefore, the material weakens rather than getting stronger because dislocation movement is severely restricted.
