Which mechanism causes increased corrosion susceptibility when grain boundaries change in alloy metals?

💡 Explanation

Galvanic cell formation promotes corrosion because compositional differences along grain boundaries create electrochemical potential differences, therefore localized corrosion accelerates rather than uniform degradation because surface energy stabilizes passive films otherwise.
