Which risk increases when weld cooling rates are too rapid during steel column fabrication?

💡 Explanation

When cooling rates are too rapid, hydrogen diffusion is inhibited and martensite forms, increasing the risk for hydrogen-induced cracking because dissolved hydrogen concentrates to stress points. Therefore cracking results, rather than grain growth, yield drop, or buckling sensitivity, which require different material conditions and load scenarios.
