Which risk increases when a steel structure experiences hydrogen blistering?

💡 Explanation

Hydrogen blistering weakens steel because hydrogen atoms diffuse into the steel and recombine to form hydrogen gas bubbles within the metal via hydrogen embrittlement; therefore, reduced tensile yield strength results, rather than increased conductivity, as grain boundaries weaken under load.
