Which cracking outcome increases as crucible refractory fails?

💡 Explanation

Refractory failure causes crucible structural collapse, introducing contaminants; therefore, increased impurity results, because the protective barrier fails; rather than homogeneity or uniformly managed controlled solidification, especially at high pressures
