← HistoryWhich material property loss was a limiting factor for larger repeated castings of bronze cannon in the late bronze age?
A)Reduced pattern of chilling effects
B)Increased alloy gas porosity✓
C)Elastic deformation increased locally
D)Rate of intermetallic segregation increased
💡 Explanation
Increased cooling times with the molds results increased porosity because dissolved gases had more time to precipitate out during cooling, therefore weakening the casting; rather than only chilling effects that creates surface hardness.
