Which mechanism causes increased brittleness when interstitial impurities exist in a titanium lattice?

💡 Explanation

Increased Peierls stress occurs because interstitial impurities distort the lattice. This distortion impedes dislocation motion, increasing brittleness; therefore slipping requires more force, rather than allowing plastic flow, thus preventing ductile behavior.
