← ScienceWhich consequence results when rapid heating induces a phase transition in metallic glass?
A)Crystallization initiates, embrittlement occurs✓
B)Increased ductility reduces tensile strength
C)Improved corrosion resistance develops
D)Enhanced magnetic permeability arises
💡 Explanation
Crystallization occurs because atoms gain sufficient energy undergoing nucleation; this process is **nucleation and growth**. The rapid heating causes instability therefore crystallization occurs, rather than maintaining the amorphous structure or other property evolutions.
