Which outcome occurs when repeated annealing above a crystal's recrystallization temperature?

💡 Explanation

Annealing causes grain growth via a diffusion-controlled mass transfer mechanism, where larger grains consume smaller ones to minimize the system's free energy, therefore reducing creep resistance, because larger grains deform more easily rather than halting the motion via pinned domain walls.
