← ScienceWhich risk increases when applying excessive shear stress on a polycrystalline metal?
A)Dynamic recrystallization occurs at grain boundaries✓
B)Work hardening throughout the crystal lattice
C)Increased Hall resistance with electron mobility
D)Dislocation climb accelerates ductile deformation
💡 Explanation
Dynamic recrystallization increases failure risk because high shear provides activation energy; the mechanism involves new grain formation which relieves internal stresses. Therefore, the weakening occurs rather than hardening because dislocation density causes embrittlement at certain sizes only.
