Prediction of hydrogen cracking in the wet welding of structural steels with ferritic stick electrodes down to 20 m

Hydrogen cracking (cold cracking), both in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) and in weld metal (WM) is one of the main factors responsible for losses in ductility and toughness in wet welds. These losses make it difficult to comply with structural quality requirements for underwater wet welding. This wor...
