Which cracking risk increases when welding quenched bridge support beams?

💡 Explanation

Hydrogen embrittlement induced cold cracking is increased, due to rapid cooling causing residual stresses and reduced hydrogen solubility in the weld metal. This enables cracking rather than immediate brittle fracture, therefore avoiding ductile tensile failure at higher temperatures because dissolved hydrogen diffuses to the crack tip.
