CRACKING IN FERRITIC STEELS
The cause(s) of these cracking problems will be explained drawing on some of the metallurgical principles that were discussed in first back-to-basics: An Introduction to Steel Metallurgy*.
This second back-to-basics webinar will be looking at the three most important cracking mechanisms that may occur in C/Mn and low alloy steels:
- hydrogen induced cold cracking
- solidification cracking
- lamellar tearing
The cause(s) of these cracking problems will be explained drawing on some of the metallurgical principles that were discussed in first back-to-basics: An Introduction to Steel Metallurgy*.
Importantly, the measures that can be taken to avoid or mitigate the cracking will also be covered.
* You do not need to have attended the first back-to-basics webinar to attend this one.
