During rapid metal quenching, which defect results when thermal energy minimizes grain boundary movement?

💡 Explanation

Increased residual stress occurs because rapid quenching hinders complete Atomic diffusion, a mechanism where atoms arrange into stable configurations during annealing; therefore stress remains embedded, rather than being relieved fully through equilibrium.
