Which limit arises when hydrogen embrittlement occurs in pipelines?

💡 Explanation

Hydrogen embrittlement introduces hydrogen atoms into the metal lattice, causing **decohesion** which inhibits dislocation movement, degrading the material. Therefore, tensile strength decreases drastically, rather than plastic deformation increases, because it allows for crack initiation at lower stress.
