Which consequence arose due to the increased brittleness characteristic of early Song Dynasty cast iron agricultural implements?

💡 Explanation

Rapid tool wear occurred due to the _loss stiffness_. Early cast iron had limited control in composition; therefore, the high brittleness from cementite phases led to abrasive components failing rather than withstanding wear, compared to modern annealed cast iron.
