Which outcome occurs when a bimetallic strip undergoes repeated thermal cycling across Curie temperature?

💡 Explanation

When cycled across the Curie temperature, repeated phase transitions influence atomic alignment, causing increased stress concentrations along grain boundaries, leading to fatigue. Therefore mechanical fatigue and delamination result, rather than hardening, resistance, or enhanced magnetism, which require different physical processes.
