← ScienceWhich risk increases when strain exceeds a crystal's elastic limit?
A)Irreversible plastic compressive deformation✓
B)Accelerated solid-state diffusion doping
C)Increased intrinsic electrical conductivity
D)Spontaneous grain boundary precipitation
💡 Explanation
When strain exceeds the elastic limit, dislocations initiate plastic deformation because dislocations propagate through the crystal lattice. Therefore, irreversible compression occurs rather than elastic behavior, without requiring diffusion or phase change.
