Which outcome was accelerated when early bronze casting furnaces exceeded their refractory limit?

💡 Explanation

Crucible failure occurred at high temperatures because exceeding the limit caused THERMAL SHOCK, therefore compromising the structure rather than improving alloy properties. Thermal shock is the mechanism occurring from extreme material changes
