Which failure occurs when austenite transforms completely in steel?

💡 Explanation

An increase in the ductile-brittle transition temperature results from a complete austenite transformation because the grain structure shifts during the phase transition, therefore embrittling the material, rather than providing other effects to fatigue or expansion.
