← HistoryWhich consequence results when tin bronze tools experience sustained humid conditions?
A)Accelerated alpha-phase grain boundary corrosion✓
B)Rapid beta-phase crystallographic transformation
C)Increased ductile fracture toughness limits
D)Elimination of dezincification failure modes
💡 Explanation
Galvanic corrosion accelerates because of differential aeration; the tin-rich alpha phase becomes cathodic to the bronze grains and undergoes preferential dissolution. Therefore, alpha phase corrosion is highest, rather than other phase transitions occurring independent of humidity.
