Which consequence results when excessive hydrogen gas infiltrates quenched and tempered steel support columns?

💡 Explanation

Excessive hydrogen causes hydrogen induced cracking because it diffuses into the steel grain boundaries under stress above a threshold, therefore weakening these bonds, rather than increasing impact or creep resistance observed in specialized alloys.
