← ScienceWhich mechanical instability results when martensite inclusions occur within austenite?
A)Surface compressive stress increases significantly
B)Lüders band elastic deformation concentrates✓
C)Intergranular corrosion risk intensifies
D)Work hardening rate quickly diminishes
💡 Explanation
Lüders band formation concentrates at the interface because martensite transformation introduces significant local lattice strain gradients. The *strain gradient plasticity* mechanism leads to localized yielding. Therefore, Lüders band concentrate, rather than diffused stress or corrosion.
