← ScienceWhich outcome results when dislocations impede slip planes?
A)A metal alloy strengthens✓
B)Increased thermal conductivity occurs
C)Fewer surface defects occur
D)Material becomes more brittle
💡 Explanation
Work hardening occurs because dislocation tangles block **plastic deformation**. Therefore the alloy strengthens, rather than fracture, because grain sliding is inhibited at the atomic lattice level rather than directly increasing brittleness or conductivity.
