Which consequence results when porosity increases during welding of high-strength steel?

💡 Explanation

Fatigue strength is lowered due to reduced cross-sectional area because porosity introduces voids, acting as stress concentrators activating crack nucleation. Therefore, fatigue life diminishes, rather than tensile strength increasing under static load.
