← HistoryWhich outcome rapidly boosted Mongol siege warfare due to improved material properties achieved during processing?
A)Improved iron cannon durability✓
B)More potent explosive projectile
C)Lighter trebuchet swing arms
D)Stronger composite crossbow laths
💡 Explanation
Improved consolidation during cast iron production increased the fatigue strength of iron cannons; an _increase in density_ prevents crack propagation because higher-quality barrels withstand increased propellant pressures, thereby providing cannons superior durability rather than explosive qualities alone.
