Which consequence results when exceeding steel's transition temperature?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding steel's ductile-brittle transition temperature causes increased brittleness because thermal energy modifies the grain boundary dislocation mobility via thermally activated mechanisms, therefore catastrophic brittle fracture is more likely, rather than improved ductility under load.
