Which outcome arises due to liquation during early bronze casting?

💡 Explanation

Improper cooling causes compositional *segregation*, called liquation; the lower-melting phases solidify at grain boundaries, because the last material solidifies there. Segregation reduces strength at those boundaries; therefore overall it will likely decrease its strength rather than make it stronger at surface.
