weld CrackingAn Excerpt from The Fabricators' and Erectors'Guide to Welded Steel ConstructionThe James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation1 weld CrackingSeveral types of discontinuities may occur in welds orheat affected zones. Welds may contain porosity, slaginclusions or cracks. Of the three, cracks are by far themost detrimental. Whereas there are acceptable limitsfor slag inclusions and porosity in welds, cracks arenever acceptable. Cracks in a weld , or in the vicinity ofa weld , indicate that one or more problems exist thatmust be addressed. A careful analysis of crack charac-teristics will make it possible to determine the cause andtake appropriate corrective the purposes of this section, Cracking will be dis-tinguished from weld failure.
ing occurs close to the time of fabrication. Hot cracks are those that occur at elevated temperatures and are usu-ally solidification related. Cold cracks are those that occur after the weld metal has cooled to room tempera-ture and may be hydrogen related. Neither is the result of service loads. Most forms of cracking result from the shrinkage ...
