← HistoryWhich consequence occurs when thermal cycles act on pietra dura inlay?
A)Differential expansion causes cracking✓
B)Increased structural compressive strength
C)Uniform chromatic color change
D)Improved bonding of stone pieces
💡 Explanation
Differential expansion causes material stresses, because various stones within the pietra dura have different thermal expansion coefficients; therefore cracking results, rather than uniform changes that require specific color-changing reactions.
