← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when rapid crystallization ceases prematurely?
A)Increased grain boundary energy✓
B)Maximized lattice diffusion rate
C)Enhanced short range ordering
D)Uniform crystal composition achieved
💡 Explanation
Increased grain boundary energy results upon rapid crystallization, because, under non-equilibrium conditions, solute trapping via solute drag occurs, creating more disordered boundaries with increasing energy. Therefore, this outcome occurs, rather than maximized diffusion or uniform structure formation under ideal annealing conditions.
