← HistoryWhich consequence results when bronze used by the Assyrians contains elevated arsenic levels?
A)Decreased alloy melting temperature
B)Reduced structural component lifespan✓
C)Increased corrosion susceptibility
D)Enhanced aesthetic finishing capabilities
💡 Explanation
Reduced structure lifespan occurs because arsenic promotes intergranular corrosion via grain boundary embrittlement when concentrated during solidification; therefore, component failure is likely in load-bearing situations, rather than altered melting points.
