History

Which increased risk occurred for bronze cannons when early founders exceeded the prescribed pour rate?

A)Increased alloy segregation weakens structure
B)Elevated hydrogen inclusions induce embrittlement
C)Increased mold cracking causes dimensional errors
D)Reduced cooling rate affects grain size

💡 Explanation

Faster pouring increased alloy material FEEDING which, because the bronze solidifies more rapidly than compositional balancing can occur, created a composition gradient called alloy segregation, therefore weakening the cast structure, rather than the formation of hydrogen inclusions.
