← HistoryWhich outcome occurred if a calculation error affected medieval Damascus steel production through crucible process?
A)Premature carbide phase precipitation.
B)Over-carburization embrittles the steel.✓
C)Under-tempering lowers tensile strength.
D)Oxidation decreases carbon matrix volume
💡 Explanation
Over-carburization occurs because excessive carbon input and alloy phase calculations are misapplied in crucibles, therefore leading to internal stress rather than the intended pattern creation, lowering expected strength.
