During the Song Dynasty, which outcome occurred given imperfect mold designs when mass-casting crossbow trigger mechanisms?

💡 Explanation

Increased operational failure rate occurs because improperly designed molds can cause excessive internal stresses during cooling and Solidification, resulting in brittle fracture. Thus, mechanisms broke easier, rather than having greater power. The Phase Transformation hardening was flawed.
