Which outcome results when interstitial carbon distorts iron crystal grains?

💡 Explanation

Increased tensile strength results because interstitial atoms cause solid solution strengthening; the mechanism restricts dislocation movement therefore the material resists deformation, rather than becoming more ductile. Corrosion risk depends on the specific materials rather than crystal defects.
