Which consequence results when excessive hydrogen accumulates within metal's grain boundaries?

A)Hydrogen embrittlement reduces material ductility
B)Increased thermal conductivity avoids failures
C)Improved corrosion resistance limits reaction
D)Enhanced magnetic permeability lowers hysteresis

💡 Explanation

When hydrogen accumulates at grain boundaries, hydrogen embrittlement leads to reduced ductility because the dissolved hydrogen weakens the metallic bonds therefore promoting brittle fracture rather than plastic deformation under stress.
