Solidification and liquation cracking issues in welding
Abstract
Solidification cracking can occur in the fusion zone during the solidification of the weld metal. Liquation cracking, on the other hand, can occur in the partially melted zone during the solidification of the liquated material. These two types of cracking are reviewed in this article, including the factors that affect cracking and the remedies.
