Which mechanism causes increased electrical resistance during strain-induced martensitic transformation in austenite?

A)Reduced electron mean free path
B)Increased electron kinetic energy
C)Enhanced electron-phonon coupling
D)Decreased Bloch wave coherence

💡 Explanation

Grain boundary scattering increases because martensitic transformation generates new interfaces within the austenite lattice microstructure restricting electron movement; therefore electrical resistance rises due to a reduced electron mean free path, rather than alternative electronic phenomena.
