Which outcome occurs when crucible cast iron cools relatively quickly?

💡 Explanation

White cast iron forms because rapid cooling promotes cementite's (iron carbide, Fe3C) formation via rapid solidification, suppressing graphite precipitation due to limited diffusion during solidification. This produces a hard, brittle material, rather than a softer, graphitic structure.
