← TechnologyWhich consequence results when rapid torch movements overheat pipeline steel?
A)Stress corrosion cracking is accelerated✓
B)Magnetic particle cracking is induced
C)The weld solidifies more slowly
D)Arc blow decreases weld strength
💡 Explanation
Stress corrosion cracking accelerates due to hydrogen diffusion caused by increased heat input; the mechanism is hydrogen embrittlement. Because the rapid heat causes hydrogen to concentrate at grain boundaries, the steel becomes susceptible, therefore stress and cracking occurs, rather than magnetic or arc blow or slowed cooling.
