← HistoryWhich constraint was paramount for maximizing consistency when mass-casting nested bronze bells during China's Zhou dynasty?
A)Controlling mold cooling uniformity✓
B)Minimising crucible oxidation rate
C)Increasing pre-heating oxygen percentage
D)Maximising pouring argon gas fraction
💡 Explanation
Uniform mold cooling during casting determined bell harmonics because differential contraction via thermal stress induces inconsistent dimensions, therefore affecting acoustics rather than simple shape errors. Other option focuses on different aspects, while "Controlling mold cooling uniformity" targets acoustical consistency and quality due to contraction during cooling.
