Cracking of High-Strength Steel Welded Joints

Abstract: Fracture evaluation of welded joints in high-strength steels, with bainitic and martensitic structures, is presented and cracking mechanisms discussed. Hot cracks or microcracks formed during welding are further expanded as cold cracks on cooling. The cause of cracking is shown to be low temperature of weld solidification and deformation-induced contraction. Hydrogen can also be an important factor in this cracking.

“…The ability to carry out a convenient selection of wall thickness is important for many industries, where high-strength steels are used, e.g. in the power industry [8] or for the construction of gas-transmission pipe lines [9]. For materials used in these areas, often strict requirements are applied to obtain the appropriate maximum hardness in the area of the welded joint.…”

“…For materials used in these areas, often strict requirements are applied to obtain the appropriate maximum hardness in the area of the welded joint. In the case of non-alloy heattreated structural steels, it is crucial that the hardness does not decrease due to the heat input during welding [5,8,9,10].…”

“…From a metallurgical point of view, the technology used for pipelines is more complex than the conventional technology based on one type of electrode. One important aspect in this field is controlling the hydrogen content in the joint, which is one of the reasons for the increased tendency of cold-crack formation in welded joints [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. The presence of a critical amount of h ydrogen in steel weldments may determine its weldability.…”

“…The greatest problems are due to susceptibility to cracking, especially cold cracking, of welds made underwater [3,8,10,[13][14][15][16][17]. High cooling rate of welded joint and associated with it tendency to forming hard quenching structures within the HAZ and increased amount of diffusible hydrogen in deposited metal is conducive to the phenomenon [18][19][20][21][22]. Cold cracking is one of the forms of hydrogen-generated failures of welded joints [10,17,23].…”
