Which consequence results when metallic lattices experience stress?

💡 Explanation

Decreased electrical conductivity occurs because dislocation formation scatters electrons, hindering their movement through the lattice. The mechanism involves plastic deformation. Therefore, there is reduced conductivity, rather than improved strength, oxidation, or elevated temperature, these occur due to different mechanisms.
