Which property was optimized in early Chinese cast iron production using reverberatory furnaces?

💡 Explanation

Early Chinese reverberatory furnaces enabled higher temperatures, therefore enabling more complete decarburization during the crucible steel casting due to increased MASS_TRANSFER, thereby producing less brittle, lower carbon iron, rather than optimizing other properties under those conditions.
