Which constraint limited increased production of identical components from 11th century Song Dynasty cast iron crossbows?

💡 Explanation

Variable cooling within sand casting caused internal stress because thermal gradients developed during solidification influenced material behavior rather than crucible composition. Therefore, components warped, reducing standardization, rather than lacking high pouring temps where lower cooling uniformity impacted performance.
