Which outcome follows welding quenched high-strength steel members?

💡 Explanation

Cold cracking risk increases during welding because hydrogen diffusion into the heat-affected zone encourages brittle fracture under residual tensile stress, therefore, hydrogen induced-cracking starts, rather than bainitic transformation without extensive heat impact affecting crystalline structure.
