Which outcome occurs when dislocations concentrate near grain boundaries of a metal lattice exposed to cyclic stress?

💡 Explanation

Creep susceptibility increases, because dislocation pile-up weakens grain boundary cohesion via vacancy diffusion through Coble creep; therefore microvoids form, rather than fatigue resistance, which would require improved grain boundary strength characteristics.
