Decreasing the grain size increases the _____

Decreasing the grain size increases the _____ Correct Answer grain boundary area

Decreasing the grain size increases the grain-boundary area and, as a consequence, the volume and uniformity of distorted metal (that adjacent to the boundaries). This effect increases the number of possible sites of nucleation and, therefore, the smaller the grains of the metal before cold work, the greater will be the rate of nucleation and the smaller the recrystallized grain size for a given degree of deformation.
