Which risk increases significantly when cast iron cools too rapidly in sand casting?

💡 Explanation

Reduced graphite nodule formation is likely because rapid cooling inhibits carbon atoms from diffusing. This restricts graphitization in ductile iron via the nucleation mechanism; therefore, the iron matrix hardens rather than forming desired nodules.
