The 'transition temperature' for ductile to brittle behavior of steel increases with increase in the _____________ content in steel?

Correct answer: A. Carbon

  • A. Carbon
  • B. Manganese
  • C. Both A nor B
  • D. Neither A nor B

Explanation

Carbon raises the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature of steel by promoting harder, more brittle microstructures. Manganese generally lowers this transition temperature, so carbon is the required constituent.
