History

In Mughal-era pietra dura, which consequence resulted when exceeding the thermal expansion limit of the marble base during inlay?

A)Stone shattering via thermal shock
B)Inlay detachment due to differential expansion
C)Adhesive failure from thermal degradation
D)Marble cracking from mechanical stress

💡 Explanation

Inlay detachment occurs because, with large temperature swings, differential thermal expansion creates stresses; this results in adhesive or mechanical bond failure via differential movement, rather than shock as only one material is stressed.
