Which risk increases when crystal grain boundaries become corroded?

💡 Explanation

Corrosion attacks weaken the grain boundaries within the crystal lattice. Increased concentration of stress leads to intergranular stress corrosion cracking, specifically. because the grain boundaries are vulnerable, and a chemical attack creates stress concentrations to cause crack propagation rather than homogeneous plastic deformation.
