Which risk significantly increases when welding high-strength steel reinforcement bars (rebar) on a construction site during cold weather?

💡 Explanation

Hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) becomes more prevalent in cold weather welding because lower temperatures reduce the rate of hydrogen diffusion out of the weld metal; therefore, hydrogen remains trapped, increasing HIC risk, rather than diffusing out to avoid brittleness.
