For a medium carbon steel, having a 0.50% carbon content, slow cooling of austenite will cause austenite to transform to carbide and ferrite. Rapid quenching of austenite can result in: |
| A. | formation of martensite, which produces a very hard and brittle steel |
| B. | retention of austenite, even at room temperature which gives a very ductile and tough steel |
| C. | formation of large carbide particles near the grain boundaries in the steel, which makes the steel brittle but very tough |
| D. | retention of austenite, even at room temperature, which gives a very brittle and hard steel |
| Answer» B. retention of austenite, even at room temperature which gives a very ductile and tough steel | |
