← HistoryWhich consequence resulted from ancient Chinese inability to control sulfur content during cast iron production?
A)Increased chilling during rapid quenching
B)Elevated carbon migration near surfaces
C)Reduced high-temperature creep resistance
D)Increased slag embrittlement and cracking✓
💡 Explanation
The persistence of sulfur increased embrittlement because insufficient process control led to iron sulfide inclusions forming along grain boundaries; therefore cracking risk increased, rather than changes in quenching or creep, and carbon levels were indirectly affected.
