Which of the following impurity in cast iron makes it hard and brittle?
A. Silicon
B. Sulphur
C. Manganese
D. Phosphorus
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Sulfur is normally regarded as an impurity and has an adverse effect on impact properties when a steel is high in sulphur and low in manganese.Sulphur improves machinability but lowers transverse ductility and notched impact toughness and has little effects on the longitudinal mechanical properties.
