Which outcome occurred when ancient Mesopotamian bronze foundries exceeded optimal temperatures?

💡 Explanation

`Hot shortness` arises from exceeding optimal ancient bronze, because high heat increased embrittlement from sulfide impurities segregating at grain boundaries; therefore cracking propagation increased, rather than improved vitrification results, different alloy phase transitions, or adjusted segregation.
