Which mechanism causes increased dislocation mobility near boundaries grains in polycrystalline alloys?

A)Peierls stress reduction
B)Hall-Petch strengthening
C)Zener pinning effect
D)Cottrell atmosphere formation

💡 Explanation

Increased thermal vibration reduces the Peierls stress reduction near grain boundaries, because dislocation movement becomes thermally activated, therefore decreasing the energy needed to overcome lattice resistance and move dislocations rather than dislocation pinning that would increase force needed..
