Which outcome occurs when point defects aggregate in a crystal lattice during annealing?

💡 Explanation

Kirkendall voids occur during annealing because vacancies diffuse at different rates within the lattice, leading to void formation due to the Kirkendall effect; therefore voids form, rather than increased strength, which requires dispersed defects.
