Which risk increases in a steel structure when heat-affected zone (HAZ) welding causes localized rapid heating?

💡 Explanation

Hydrogen-induced cracking becomes more likely to occur because rapid heating during welding increases hydrogen diffusion into the HAZ promoting brittle fracture. Therefore, hydrogen-induced cracking increases rather than fatigue strength or weathering performances which are negatively associated with HAZ.
