← TechnologyWhich defect is enabled within cast iron due to rapid cooling?
A)White iron formation✓
B)Increased graphite content
C)Austenite grain refinement
D)Reduced nodularity rating
💡 Explanation
Rapid cooling during cast iron solidification promotes cementite formation through the mechanism of phase transformation, because the carbon atoms don't have enough time to diffuse and form graphite flakes. Therefore white iron results, rather than the softer gray iron with graphite.
