Steels with high carbon equivalent have poor weldability, because in these steels during welding

A Carbon and other alloying elements get oxidised from the weld pool
B Excessive ferrite forms in the heat affected zone leading to poor toughness of the weld
C Martensite forms in the heat affected zone leading to poor toughness/ductility of the weld
D Segregation of carbon and other element occurs in the weld pool leading to poor properties of the weld

Correct Answer: Martensite forms in the heat affected zone leading to poor toughness/ductility of the weld
