Which risk increases when a bronze crossbow prod undergoes significant cold working?

💡 Explanation

Increased cold working raises internal stresses and decreases grain ductility within the bronze, therefore stress corrosion cracking develops because electrochemical attack progresses more rapidly at these sites, rather than ductility increasing significantly.
