← ScienceWhich outcome results when interstitial carbon distorts iron crystal grains?
A)Increased tensile strength results✓
B)Intergranular corrosion accelerates
C)Ductility proportionally increases
D)Melting temperature declines sharply
💡 Explanation
Increased tensile strength results because interstitial atoms cause solid solution strengthening; the mechanism restricts dislocation movement therefore the material resists deformation, rather than becoming more ductile. Corrosion risk depends on the specific materials rather than crystal defects.
