History

Which material characteristic improvement results when rapidly chilling crucible-cast crucible steel?

A)Reduced carbide precipitation along grain
B)Increased ferrite grain boundary slip
C)Higher pearlite formation rate overall
D)Suppressed martensite hardness tempering ability

💡 Explanation

Rapid chilling causes reduced carbide precipitation along grain boundaries because it impedes carbon diffusion; therefore, it diminishes brittleness effects by dislocation hindrance rather than promoting boundary slip expected during slower cooling from annealing.
