How the addition of impurity in pure metal affects the critical solved shear stress? Correct Answer Increases

The presence of an impurity in the lattice will hinder the free movement of dislocation. This result in an increase in critical resolved shear stress. The data shows the importance of small amounts of impurities in increasing the critical resolved shear stress for silver and copper.
