← HistoryWhich outcome resulted from excessive dissolved oxygen during Bessemer converter processing?
A)High-strength steel alloy formation
B)Oxides entrapment caused brittle iron✓
C)Uniform carbon distribution achieved
D)Reduced slag production efficiency
💡 Explanation
Brittle cast iron results due to oxygen readily bonding with iron therefore oxide inclusions compromise grain boundaries reducing ductility, rather than forming strong alloys given complete deoxidation promoting carbon consistency.
