Which risk increases when mechanical stress concentrates within a titanium metal's grain boundary gaps?

💡 Explanation

Intergranular corrosion greatly increases because galvanic corrosion leverages the grain boundary gaps. Electrons move due to chemical potential differences; therefore rapid corrosion accelerates, rather than a uniform dislocation decrease or superconductivity which is a different mechanism entirely.
