← HistoryWhich outcome predictably occurs when the reverberatory furnace roof collapses during the late bronze age?
A)Reduced crucible differential heating efficiency
B)Increased bronze melt oxidation kinetics✓
C)Accurate ingot-weight alloy homogenization
D)Predictable temperature gradient shift efficiency
💡 Explanation
Increased bronze melt oxidation kinetics accelerate because ingress of atmospheric oxygen due to a roof collapse increases the surface area reacting with molten metal, oxidizing tin and copper rather than maintaining the desired alloy ratios. Therefore, the melt degrades rather than remaining uniform.
