← HistoryWhich outcome occurred during early Song Dynasty iron production, due to limitations in control?
A)Frequent brittle failures arise in tools✓
B)Improved control of cementation processes
C)Increased energy requirements for blast furnaces
D)More efficient steel forging techniques grow
💡 Explanation
Early iron production suffered sporadic carbon concentration because precise decarburization using reverberatory furnaces was underdeveloped; therefore, some Chinese cast iron tools fractured due to fluctuating areas of weakness, rather than consistent composition throughout.
