← HistoryWhich weakening is accelerated by soluble salt migration within Mughal pietra dura inlay?
A)Matrix detachment and pattern scaling✓
B)Differential staining of materials
C)Increased axial compressive stresses
D)Polycrystalline transition temperature elevation
💡 Explanation
Matrix detachment and pattern scaling occur because efflorescence stresses from salt crystallization cause the mechanical bonds of differing materials to fail via fracture mechanics. Therefore, inlay pieces separate entirely, rather than experiencing visual changes or altered material properties.
