← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when strain increases beyond yield strength in metal alloy undergoing welding?
A)Dislocation pile-up at grain boundaries✓
B)Increased thermal conductivity from lattice vibration
C)Elevated electrochemical corrosion potential gradients
D)Enhanced solid-state diffusion within heat zone
💡 Explanation
When strain surpasses the yield strength, plastic deformation occurs because dislocations in the crystal structure move and accumulate at grain boundaries, obstructing further slip. Therefore dislocation pile-up results, rather than conductivity changes, corrosion potential shifts, or altering diffusion rates, which require different mechanisms like temperature gradients or electrochemical environment changes.
