← HistoryWithin ancient Chinese foundries, which outcome occurred when poorly-controlled heating influenced crucible temperature?
A)Increased inclusion of slag materials✓
B)Enhanced uniformity of cast iron
C)Lowered carbon content efficiently
D)Improved machinability of fragile bronze
💡 Explanation
Increased inclusion of slag materials would occur due to less fluidity during the pouring via insufficient crucible temperatures inhibiting reactions; therefore, slag is trapped, rather than creating a completely homogenous alloy.
