← HistoryIncreased spalling risk appears in Mughal pietra dura when?
A)Poor thermal expansion match exists✓
B)Grouting seals are incorrectly prepared
C)Aggressive cleaning agents are employed
D)Excessive installation adhesive compresses it
💡 Explanation
Differential thermal expansion creates stresses within inlaid stones due to mismatched expansion coefficients; this causes spalling because cyclical variance strains material bonds, therefore an expansion mismatch presents risk, rather than sole reliance on grout or adhesive mechanics.
