Which outcome increases the risk of cast iron cracking, when improperly quenched during Song Dynasty armoring?

💡 Explanation

Martensite formation creates high internal stress because the phase transformation results in volume changes within the cooling iron. Rapid temperature reduction impedes dislocation slip, therefore increasing stress rather than accommodating deformation through creep.

• During medieval Islamic optics, which result arose due to al-Haytham's algebraic formulation of reflection?
• Which risk increases with prolonged operation of the `shāh jahāni` stepwell architecture?
• Which limitation restricted practical surveying using early medieval astrolabes, due to inherent trigonometric functions?
• Which destructive outcome was frequently encountered early in shipbuilding history when green timbers were enclosed within impermeable layers?
