← TechnologyWhich risk increases significantly when cast iron cools too rapidly in sand casting?
A)Reduced graphite nodule formation✓
B)Excessive grain boundary segregation
C)Increased alpha-case transformation
D)Accelerated austenite phase transformation
💡 Explanation
Reduced graphite nodule formation is likely because rapid cooling inhibits carbon atoms from diffusing. This restricts graphitization in ductile iron via the nucleation mechanism; therefore, the iron matrix hardens rather than forming desired nodules.
