    Joint Restraint - Improper Bead Shape - Hydrogen Pickup - Rapid Cooling Rate - High Carbon/Alloy Content - Low Melting Point Contaminants

    Uploaded by

    Lucian Houdini
    This document discusses why welds can crack during fabrication. Some potential causes of cracking include joint restraint, high carbon or alloy content in the base metal, hydrogen pickup, low melting point contaminants, and rapid cooling rates. Specific types of cracks that can occur are heat affected zone cracks, crater cracks, transverse cracks, and longitudinal or centerline cracks. The document also lists some potential cures for each type of crack, such as using low hydrogen consumables, increasing pre-heat and post-heat treatments, controlling weld metal composition and properties, and optimizing welding parameters.

    WHY WELDS CRACK

    DURING FABRICATION
    • Joint restraint • High Carbon/Alloy Content • Hydrogen Pickup
    • Improper Bead Shape • Low Melting Point Contaminants • Rapid Cooling Rate

    STEEL ALUMINIUM STEEL STEEL STEEL

    HEAT AFFECTED ZONE CRATER LONGITUDINAL CRACK


    CRACK CRACK TRANSVERSE CRACK (Centerline Crack)
    (Underbead Crack)
    Possible Causes Possible Causes Possible Causes Possible Causes
    Excess Hydrogen Inadequate Crater Fill Excess Hydrogen Improper Width to Depth Ratio
    High Carbon/Alloy Content in Base Metal Excessive Strength in Weld Metal Low Melting Point Contaminants
    High Residual Stress Levels High Residual Stress Levels Concave Weld Surface

    Possible Cures Possible Cures Possible Cures Possible Cures


    Use Low Hydrogen Consumables Backstep at the End of the Weld Increase Pre-Heat Use Width to Depth Ratio of 1:1 to 1.4:1
    Control Hydrogen Content in Weld Metal Use Crater Fill Machine Settings Use Lower Strength Consumables Limit Excess Penetration
    Increase Pre-Heat (Consistent with design requirements) Decrease Voltage and/or Travel Speed
    Increase Post-Heat Increase Post-Heat
