Which problem affected output quality with medieval Damascus steel production?

💡 Explanation

Production suffered if crucible temperature variation affected cementation introducing inconsistencies; the diffusion mechanism was temperature-sensitive forming desired carbide structures. Therefore, the steel varied, rather than maintaining consistent quality caused by constant temperature gradients.
