Which outcome occurs when rapid thermal cycling stresses solder joints?

💡 Explanation

Thermal cycling causes creep because repetitive expansion/contraction accelerates dislocation motion, ultimately leading to fatigue failure. Therefore, creep increases, rather than annealing because stresses are unevenly distributed, and grain growth does not compromise ductility.
