← HistoryWhich consequence resulted from early crucible steel production limit?
A)Weaker overall crossbow firing power✓
B)Improved water resistance in gunpowder
C)Reduced material costs crossbows
D)Easier crossbow maintenance schedules
💡 Explanation
Early crucible steel used different alloying, meaning that phase transitions were less developed; this solidifies into less quality steel because of inhomogeneous hardenability, resulting in the 'brittle fracture' mechanism. Therefore, earlier crossbow applications sacrificed firing power, rather than reduced costs with poor material choices.
