Which outcome occurs from excessive hydrogen charging of steel?

💡 Explanation

Hydrogen charging introduces hydrogen atoms into the steel lattice, hydrogen embrittlement concentrates these at grain boundaries causing brittle fracture; therefore the steel loses ductility rather than gaining strength, because the concentration creates stress.
