Which weakening outcome increased in early cast iron cannons due to manufacturing limitations?

💡 Explanation

Early cast iron production lacked precise control, which increased _carbide precipitation_ during cooling; these carbides formed brittle zones, therefore causing structural weakness, rather than a structure of ductile iron suitable for pressure containment

• Which outcome resulted from limitations to Viking rope bridge construction?
• Which outcome occurs when medieval Alhazen lenses have inclusions?
• Which outcome occurred when Mughal garden subsurface drains became blocked?
• Which outcome occurs initially with a ziggurat's clay brick structure nearing collapse, after the saturation by seasonal flooding?
• Which consequence increases for crew after repetitive firing when using a Roman torsion siege engine?
• Which mechanism limited the maximum span of early cast iron bridges (e.g., Iron Bridge, 1779)?
