Which risk increases when extreme cold causes non-uniform contraction in a polycrystalline ceramic?

💡 Explanation

Microstructural cracks occur because differential thermal contraction causes grain boundary stress beyond the material's tensile strength; therefore cracking happens rather than electron mobility because grain boundary decohesion is the primary mechanism.
