← HistoryWhich outcome increases likelihood when ancient bronze casting molds crack?
A)Increased internal void formation✓
B)Improved surface finish precision
C)Reduced metal solidification rate
D)Decreased alloy elemental segregation
💡 Explanation
Internal void formation increases because mold cracking introduces pathways for atmospheric gases, promoting enhanced heterogeneous nucleation during solidification; the INVERSE of homogeneous nucleation increases porosity. Therefore voids increase, rather than achieving other metallurgical improvements.
