Which consequence results when a hydrogen storage tank develops micro-cracks?

A)Hydrogen embrittlement intensifies, weakens metal
B)Tank pressure oscillates unpredictably overtime
C)Inert gas buffering loses effectiveness
D)Fuel cell voltage degrades exponentially rapidly

💡 Explanation

Hydrogen embrittlement will be accelerated; tiny cracks permit atomic hydrogen to intensely permeate grain boundaries weakening metal structure, because accelerated crack propogration and rapid loss of material robustness will dominate. Therefore, earlier system failure occurs, rather than simple pressure cycling effects.
