← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when grain boundary motion is blocked during nanocrystalline metal deformation?
A)Hall-Petch strengthening diminishes✓
B)Enhanced creep resistance develops
C)Superplasticity behavior is amplified
D)Increased ductile-brittle transition occurs
💡 Explanation
Hall-Petch strengthening diminishes because inhibited grain boundary sliding limits dislocation pile-up, suppressing the mechanism of impeding dislocation motion at grain boundaries. Therefore, boundary strengthening weakens, rather than creep resistance developing because other mechanisms involving dislocation movement dominate.
