History

Which outcome occurred from inconsistent Bronze Age crossbow prod annealing?

A)Reduced bolt kinetic energy output
B)Increased bowstring tensile strength
C)Enhanced trigger sear engagement
D)Improved stock recoil dampening

💡 Explanation

Lower annealing temperatures result in residual stresses that introduce work hardening, weakening the finished prod via stress concentration because fracture toughness lowers from uncontrolled heat treatment. Therefore, kinetic energy declined, rather than increased strength as would occur with correct tempering.
