← HistoryWhich limitation increased constructing larger Mesopotamian bronze statues?
A)Decreased bronze rigidity at scale✓
B)Complex alloy composition variation
C)Inefficient furnace operating temperatures
D)Limited mold ventilation techniques
💡 Explanation
Decreased rigidity occurs because of dimensional instability during solidfication via dendritic growth. This solidification shrinkage causes stress concentrations and cracking, therefore size constrains quality, rather than alloy complexities or techniques being insurmountable issues.
