History

Which outcome occurred from arsenic enrichment of ancient Chinese cast iron?

A)Increased corrosion resistance offshore structures
B)Improved weapon blade sharpness and durability
C)Enhanced mold filling during casting processes
D)Decreased magnetic susceptibility for compasses

💡 Explanation

Arsenic enrichment reduced surface tension and increased fluidity via liquid-phase sintering, aiding the replication of intricate mold details for decorations. Therefore, casting replication improved, rather than better corrosion resistance because iron is oxidizable.
