When using relatively impure cast iron, which outcome risks occurring due to thermal stress in early cannons?

💡 Explanation

Brittle shell shattering becomes prevalent because grey cast iron included cementite at grain boundaries allowing crack formation; brittleness therefore overwhelms plastic deformation, causing catastrophic failure, rather than gradual yielding.
