← HistoryWhich challenge complicates designs using pietra dura inlay?
A)Differential thermal expansion is significant✓
B)Maintaining constant tool cutting speeds
C)Oxidation of metallic components occurs
D)Viscosity changes limit adhesive strength
💡 Explanation
Early Mughal buildings show damage because differential thermal expansion is significant between marble and inlays affecting long-term structural integrity of the pietra dura's bond; therefore expansion issues arise rather than oxidation risks related to other elements.
