← HistoryWhich consequence results when bronze cools too slowly after casting processes?
A)Improved hardness uniformity achieved
B)Dendritic segregation becomes more prevalent✓
C)Superior ductility is consistently observed
D)Grain refinement is effectively promoted
💡 Explanation
Dendritic segregation increases because slower cooling gives alloy components more time for diffusion, leading to compositional variations and weaker material. Thus, segregation occurs, rather than achieving the compositional homogeneity needed via rapid cooling to suppress diffusion.
