Which failure appears when stainless steel alloy welds solidify?

💡 Explanation

Solidification cracking occurs because microsegregation concentrates impurities along grain boundaries. Interface strength reduces during austenitic phase solidification. Therefore, grain boundaries pull apart rather than deform preventing brittle cracking; dissimilar expansion doesn't cause embrittlement.
