Which outcome occurs when a metal crystal's grain boundaries are minimized?

💡 Explanation

Creep resistance increases because grain boundary diffusion, the primary creep mechanism, is reduced significantly with larger grains; therefore increasing creep threshold, rather than embrittlement or reduced conductivity, because diffusion paths are longer.
