← ScienceWhich outcome accelerates if polycrystalline metal cools imperfectly?
A)Crystal grain boundary corrosion rate✓
B)Reduction of overall tensile strength
C)Increase in size of dislocations
D)Homogeneous nucleation throughout the structure
💡 Explanation
Grain boundary corrosion rate increases because galvanic coupling amplifies near crystal defects via microelectrochemical activity; therefore corrosion risk rises, rather than uniform nucleation, since it's localized not distributed.
