Which outcome accelerates diffusion-driven hydrogen embrittlement in austenitic stainless steel?

💡 Explanation

Formation of stress-induced martensite traps hydrogen via the Cottrell atmosphere mechanism; because trapped hydrogen concentrates at these sites, localized cracking accelerates, therefore, embrittlement advances rather than being mitigated by enhanced yield strength or chromium passivation.
