Cold cracking occurs after the weld metal solidification is complete. Cold cracking may occur several days after welding and is generally caused by hydrogen embrittlement, excessive joint restraint, and rapid cooling. Thorough cleaning of the joint area of moisture, oils and solvents, preheating, the use of low-hydrogen electrodes and dry high purity shielding gas help reduce this problem. 2, record 7, English, - cold%20cracking
