Slashdot has it here, I'll quote just a little to pad out my content:

The team collected clues from 48 Titanic rivets and found many riddled with high concentrations of slag, a glassy residue of smelting that can make iron brittle [...] With the right slag content they should have held up [...] Even a few failures because of flawed metal would have been sufficient to unzip entire seams


Read more. I haven't checked out slashdot.org for a while, I don't think they have related stories very often...
