Which fabrication constraint limited Assyrian bronze helmet production?

💡 Explanation

Non-uniform constituent elements can compromise bronze properties, because constituent segregation introduces mechanical imperfections via phase transition constraints. Therefore alloy content control was difficult, rather than merely mold characteristics, smelting efficiency or sand inclusion problems.
