Which consequence results when inadequately drying welding rods?

💡 Explanation

Hydrogen embrittlement degrades weld strength when moisture reacts while welding because hydrogen atoms diffuse into the steel. This atomic diffusion accelerates cracking, therefore embrittlement occurs, rather than localized splatter that porosity issues induce.
