Which risk increases when aluminum undergoes repeated phase transitions during additive manufacturing?

💡 Explanation

Repeated phase transitions induce microstructural defects, increasing vulnerability to excessive grain boundary segregation because elements preferentially accumulate rather than distribute evenly. Therefore, grain boundary segregation rises, unlike oxidation or altered mechanical properties under these non-equilibrium conditions.
