Which risk increases when liquid hydrogen fuel lines experience micro-fractures?

💡 Explanation

A micro-fracture provides surface area that catalyzes hydrogen dissociation into monatomic hydrogen via Catalytic Dissociation, because the metallic fracture surface acts as a surprisingly effective catalyst. Therefore, the monatomic hydrogen promotes further embrittlement rather than convection due to a different energy transfer type.
