Why welding thick carbon steel material has tendency to crack?
Depends on a lot of variables, such as welding process, filler metal, type of joint, etc. One possibility is that a proper pre-heat is not maintained. If welding two thick pieces of plate, by the time the final passes are welded, the bottom layers may cool too quickly, or the beads may not be fusing together. Cooling too quickly can cause the layers to separate. Or it may be possible that the continuous welding with a certain process may overheat the metal. Also, some electrodes contain hydrogen that can cause embrittlement and cracking in the parent metal or HAZ. This list is not exhaustive, consult a welding text for more potential causes.
What is fracture mechanics?
Fracture mechanics is the study of how cracks form and propogate through variuos materials. Often times during design an engineer will assume a crack in the material to or use x-ray to determine the size of cracks in the material. Fracture mechanics approaches require that an initial crack size be known or assumed. For components with imperfections or defects (such as welding porosities, inclusions and casting defects, etc.) an initial crack size may be known.
What is easier to weld carbon steel or cast iron?
any steel or alloy of iron and carbon having a carbon percentage of above 0.3% is difficult to weld. carbon steel can have maximum carbon percentage of about 2% and cast iron with carbon percentage between 2% to 4%. the welding of any iron alloy with carbon percentage above 0.3% becomes difficult because of the formation of the martensite in the welding areas, heat affected zone etc., the fusion welding process which is usually employed to weld carbon steel and cast iron takes the metal or alloy to their respective melting point (in this case about 1650 C) which is above the austenizing temperature of most steel and cast iron. when the weld is finished it undergoes a process similar to hardening. the nearby non heated parts of the welded material acts as the cold bath resulting in the hardening process which involves sudden cooling for the formation of martensite which is very brittle, any pressure applied will crack the weld immediately. hence before welding the nearby parts of the material to be welded is preheated so that they wont act as any cold bath. but any way cast irons are very difficult to weld than the steels. this is because of the fact that the martensite formed is as a result of trapped carbon atoms in the iron crystal making a distorted body centered tetragonal crystal structure(martensite). higher the percentage of carbon the martensite formation is even better. hence cast irons are especially difficult to weld. design engineers never suggest a welding process for cast iron. cast irons are welded only when there is no other choice but to weld it.
What welding defect is considered the most severe?
1. Surface Cracks 2. Under bead / HAZ crack 3. Root Crack 4. Inclusion 5. Concave profile 6. Weld undersize.
Why carbon is better then any other for steel?
It is required to make steel the more carbon the steel contains the harder and stronger it will get, if you have to much carbon the steel will be brittle and crack easy. carbon is a good element to bond with becuase it has four bonds

What is the word for the tendency to crack or break?
The word is "brittleness."
What is brittleness in Filipino?
Brittleness in Filipino is often translated as "karupukan" or "kahamog." It refers to the tendency of a material or substance to break or crack easily under pressure or stress.
What do you need to weld a rusty crack?
a welding machine, a grinder, some skill
What does a crack in a carbon frame look like and how can it be identified?
A crack in a carbon frame may appear as a thin line or a small indentation on the surface. It can be identified by visually inspecting the frame for any unusual marks or changes in the material, and by gently tapping the frame to listen for any hollow or dull sounds, which may indicate a crack.

Can a 22inch rim be fixed with a 12inch crack on the inside?
no, DOT do not allow welding to be done to repair a wheel
What is hot shortness in welding?
Hot shortness is a welding defect that occurs when the material becomes brittle and cracks at high temperatures, typically due to sulfur or phosphorus impurities. This can lead to a weakened weld joint and compromise the integrity of the weld. Temperature control and proper material selection are key factors in preventing hot shortness during welding.
What are welding defects?
1. crack 2. spatter 3.distortion 4. haz 5 blow holes
How do you manually make crack in arc welding?
due improper storage of electrode and pre heat maintening temperature
