Which outcome occurs when hydrogen embrittlement exceeds a turbine blade's limit?

💡 Explanation

Intragranular cleavage fracture results because hydrogen embrittlement weakens grain boundaries, therefore crack formation readily propagates through grains, rather than requiring plastic deformation; A is incorrect because this results from ductile materials.
