← HistoryWhich outcome regularly affected early Chinese cast iron agricultural tools continually exposed to humid southern paddy fields?
A)Increased surface ferrite formation✓
B)Selective graphitization of iron
C)Accelerated propagation of fatigue cracks
D)Elevated work hardening coefficient peaks
💡 Explanation
Increased surface ferrite formation happened because the galvanic corrosion mechanism occurred due to water and atmospheric oxygen, therefore causing iron loss rather than graphitization, elevated cracking, or work hardening experienced primarily under cyclical load.
