Hydrogen Cracking In Welds

Sambit Rath, 4th Year, Mechanical Engineering, GITA Bhubaneswar. Abstract — This paper/Article presents the phenomenon of Hydrogen cracking and its prevention . The Hydrogen induced cracking or ... read more

10 Tips That Can Advance Your Welding Skills

“Preheating is required to prevent postweld cracking.” Employ a small-diameter, low-hydrogen electrode, such as a 7018 stick rod, when repairing high-strength steels, adds Leisner. Finally, keep your ... read more

EXPERTS EXPLAIN CAUSES OF CRACKS IN WELDING

The high carbon content in the welding rods apparently led to overly rapid cooling, and that produced cracks. One expert said that sounds like "hydrogen-cracking" or "cold-cracking," a problem that ... read more

Experts say dilbit could have created pressure swings, hydrogen cracks in Pegasus rupture

Pizzo said it works like this — An especially brittle area, like the seam weld region of the Pegasus, will draw hydrogen atoms into the steel pipe. The atoms congregate at the tips of cracks, where ... read more

WAYS TO DEAL WITH WET H2S CRACKING REVEALED BY STUDY

They are: SSC (sometimes referred to as hard-weld cracking), hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC, also referred to as blistering or hydrogen damage), and stress-oriented, hydrogen-induced cracking (SOHIC). read more

Minimizing hydrogen cracking critical for 13Cr pipeline welds

For stainless steel flowlines, 13% chrom-ium (13Cr) provides excellent resistance to carbon dioxide attack, with good strength and toughness properties. The material has been qualified and used by ... read more

Bay Bridge tower welds flawed, need repairs

"If you get moisture introduced into a crack, you will get hydrogen cracking in any weld," Wright said. Hydrogen contamination is considered a likely cause for 32 bolts breaking in March on seismic ... read more

TAINTED WIRE IS BLAMED FOR CRACKS IN SUB

The second major factor, Eagar's report said, was the high carbon content of the wire. The cracking was induced by the presence of hydrogen in the welds, according to the report, which pinpointed the ... read more

WIRE LINKED TO SEAWOLF CRACKS

The cracking was induced by the presence of hydrogen in the welds, according to the report, which pinpointed the likely source of hydrogen as lubricant used in making the wire. Eagar's report noted ... read more

WELDING CRACKS CAUSED UNION OIL BLAST FATAL TO 17

a liner was installed in 1976 in the lower portion of the vessel to control hydrogen corrosion. But Ortciger said it was the 1974 welding that caused the network of cracks. He explained that if metal ... read more

Determine Hydrogen Concentration in New Materials Using the G4 PHOENIX

Thus, hydrogen in welds or steel is important to evaluate because of hydrogen-induced cracking or hydrogen-assisted cracking (HIC/HAC), embrittlement, or hydrogen-delayed fracture among other damaging ... read more
