Which consequence results when quenched welding creates martensite?

💡 Explanation

Hydrogen-induced cracking accelerates because *hydrogen diffusion* becomes trapped in the martensite lattice, leading to embrittlement at grain boundaries; therefore, cracking is likely, rather than increased ductility, because martensite is brittle
