Which outcome accelerates when impurities disrupt a crystal's structure?

💡 Explanation

The corrosion rate increases because impurity atoms promote galvanic microcells along grain boundaries, driving electrochemical reactions due to increased surface free energy and reduced passivation. Therefore, overall corrosion accelerates, rather than other processes like enhanced conductivity under similar stress conditions.
