How it Works
Experts from the welding industry answer your questions and explain 'how it works'.
What causes weld metal solidification cracking and how to avoid it?
Weld solidification cracking, sometimes referred to as hot cracking or shrinkage cracking, is cracking that occurs as the weld is solidifying. The reason for solidification cracking is that the amount of liquid metal in the weld pool is insufficient to fill the gaps created as the weld metal shrinks during solidification.
What causes weld hot and cold cracking and how to avoid it?
The phenomenon of cold cracking has been a source of confusion and frustration in many industries when welding carbon steels. The main issue is that this type of cracking, often called hydrogen cracking or delayed cracking, because it often does not occur until days afterwards.
What are the considerations for choosing Welding Materials for Strength and Efficiency
Welding materials are defined as any materials used for making or protecting a weld such as filler metals (coated electrodes, rods, solid wires, tubular wires), fluxes, shielding gases and consumable inserts. Welding materials selection is one of the most important steps of the weld design.

Why are Higher Carbon Steels More Difficult to Weld?
Why are higher carbon steels more difficult to weld? In the first instance, we know that as the carbon content of a steel increases then so does the tensile strength.
What are some Shielding Gases that are used for Welding?
Shielding gases are used primarily to protect the molten weld pool from contamination from oxygen, nitrogen, and other contaminants from the atmosphere
