Which mechanism leads to increased brittleness in zinc castings?

💡 Explanation

Grain boundary precipitates embrittle zinc die castings because they introduce stress concentration points, reducing the material's resistance to fracture, therefore forming cracks readily, rather than through deformation because the plastic deformation is limited.
