No way, it's gotta be decarburization. That's when the carbon gets stripped out of the metal, leading to all sorts of issues.

Hmm, I think it's got to be carburization. That's when the metal gets saturated with carbon, right?

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be B) Carburization. It involves carbon diffusion into the metal.

I agree with Kathrine. Decarburization makes sense because it leads to metal wastage.
