Which outcome results when dislocations impede slip planes?

💡 Explanation

Work hardening occurs because dislocation tangles block **plastic deformation**. Therefore the alloy strengthens, rather than fracture, because grain sliding is inhibited at the atomic lattice level rather than directly increasing brittleness or conductivity.
