Which outcome follows if early bronze tools experience work hardening?

💡 Explanation

Work hardening increases hardness but decreases ductility because strain accumulation creates dislocations, therefore the metal becomes brittle and prone to fracture, rather than gaining better corrosion/thermal or electrical properties, which arise from different mechanisms.
