Which consequence results when differential superheating of molten tin occurs during its phase transition to solid?

💡 Explanation

Uneven cooling creates differential stresses that cause brittle intermetallic formation because volume changes drastically during solidification; the mechanism is solid-state diffusion. Therefore, intermetallics occur rather than accelerated corrosion from dross because dross depends on ambient exposure, nor propagation of tin pest which requires lower temperatures.
