← TechnologyWhich cracking risk increases when welding high-carbon steel beams?
A)Hydrogen-induced cold cracking (HICC)✓
B)Lamellar tearing occurs internally
C)Embrittlement via temper bead removal
D)Hot cracking during solidification occurs
💡 Explanation
Hydrogen-induced cold cracking (HICC) increases because hydrogen diffusion occurs in the heat-affected zone. Therefore, residual stress from welding combines with hydrogen embrittlement creating cracks, rather than simple solidification or lamellar tearing under lower-carbon content.
