Reduction in the grain size reduces the _______________ of the material?

Correct answer: C. Creep resistance

  • A. Fatigue resistance
  • B. Tensile strength
  • C. Creep resistance
  • D. All A., B. & C.

Explanation

Fine grains usually improve strength and fatigue resistance, but they reduce high-temperature creep resistance because the greater grain-boundary area promotes grain-boundary sliding. Therefore, creep resistance is the property reduced here.
