Which outcome occurs when rapid hydrogen evolution surpasses diffusion rates in steel?

💡 Explanation

If hydrogen evolution exceeds diffusion, hydrogen embrittlement becomes likely because the concentration builds up at grain boundaries causing reduced cohesion; therefore stress corrosion cracking accelerates dramatically rather than surface oxidation or phase transformation occur.
