Which outcome occurs when high pressure induces allotropic transition in steel?

💡 Explanation

Increased pressure favours denser phases; the martensitic transformation occurs at high pressures because it's a dense phase. Mechanical failure due to sudden phase transitions occurs, therefore, yield strength increases sharply rather than gradual deformation, because of different mechanisms dominating under pressure.
