Stainless steel, including austenitic stainless steel, is popular for its strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. It's aesthetically pleasing, easy to produce, clean, and maintain, and environmentally friendly, making it a top choice for components for architecture, automobiles, and many other products.
Solidification cracking in austenitic stainless steel welds was investigated by Spot-Varestraint tests using pure laboratory heats and commercial heats. The initiation and propagation of solidification cracks were found to be controlled by the formation of the solidification grain boundary, interfacial energy considerations, and the phase transformations occurring upon solidification.
Solidification cracking susceptibilities of two types of superaustenitic stainless steel, 254SMO and SR50A, were evaluated by transverse Varestraint tests. The susceptibilities were compared with those of conventional austenitic stainless steel 316L, and factors influencing the difference of susceptibility were discussed. The comparison showed that 254SMO and SR50A are more sensitive to ...

Previous research indicates that δ phase in austenitic stainless steel can prevent hot cracking, reduce the segregation and also eliminate the formation of low-melting-point eutectic phases,,, . It is well accepted and understood that in welded and casted steel, δ phase acts as a strengthener for high strength application [19] .
During welding of these materials, hot cracking can be encountered due to solidification cracking and/or liquation cracking. The influence of harmful elements such as sulfur, phosphorus, boron, silicon, niobium and titanium on fully austenitic stainless steel cracking sensitivity is well documented (Ref 1,2,3).

It has been confirmed that Mn and Mo hav beneficial effects in reducing hot cracking4' and that the cracking sus ceptibility increase s a Si, P and S contents increase.6-7 In addition, heat input shoul d be minimize to avoid cracking. Low arc energy together with

Defect small cracks in 304 and 316 austenitic stainless steel and INCONEL® welds. 304 and 316 austenitic stainless steels and INCONEL (referred to, here, as austenitic alloys) are corrosion and oxidation resistant because they contain chromium, which forms …
Likewise, ferritic stainless steels are considered to possibly resist cracking depending on composition but also have temperature limitations. Alloys with higher Ni content such as the super austenitic stainless steels tend not to crack in Cl-environments. Alloy 825 is …
They are the most easily weldable of the stainless steel family and can be welded by all welding processes, the main problems being avoidance of hot cracking and the preservation of corrosion resistance. A convenient and commonly used shorthand identifying the individual alloy within the austenitic stainless steel group is the ASTM system.

hot cracking. However, the austenite weld metal with smaller amount of ferrite is very crack sensitive. The crack growth occurred in the weldments of austenitic stainless steel at the temperature of stress relieving treatment of 750˚C with 1% ferrite content, see
Most welding advice on austenitic stainless steels focuses on the need to avoid hot cracking of the weld material and, for this reason, a welding rod that will lay down a deposit containing a small amount of delta-ferrite is recommended. This is not necessarily the best approach where the component is operating at elevated temperature.
Liquation cracking may occur in the heat-affected zone during welding. Two factors influence this phenomenon: the tensile stresses generated during welding and the potential loss of ductility due to the presence of a liquid film at grain boundaries depending on their chemical composition. Gleeble hot ductility tests have been used to study the combined effect of boron content and holding time ...
The fusion zone and weld metal heat-affected zone (HAZ) hot cracking susceptibilities of the modified 316 stainless steel are similar to conventional fully austenitic 316 stainless steels and greater than the conventional 316 materials that have a primary ferritic solidification mode.
Solidification cracking is a significant problem during the welding of fully austenitic stainless steels. The present work is considered as the first trial to investigate and propose a mechanism of hot cracking formation when welding the Fan-shaped cracking test specimen, using the pulsed current gas tungsten arc welding process (PCGTAW). The specimen lateral expansions …
– In high-alloyed austenitic and duplex stainless steels cracking problems only occur for the cast structure and the hot ductility of even slightly recrystallised material was adequate for further hot working. Cracking tendency was found to increase with inc-reasing temperature and pass reduction. Therefore, a light first pass is recommended.
less than 0.002%) austenitic stainless steel, refined by the Metal-bearing Solution Refining (MSR) process exhibits superb hot-cracking resistance comparable to that of Type 304, even in fully austenitic weld metal. Niobium has a detrimental effect on fully austenitic weld metal, since the hot-cracking susceptibility increases considerably when ...
Hot cracking often refers to the appearance of liquid films along grain boundaries or to another place in the weld metal. 1 They are defined as high-temperature cracks and are known to occur in a large range of alloys, 2 particularly fully austenitic stainless steel, which has a high susceptibility to hot cracking. 3 Hot cracking in austenitic ...
Weld metal hot cracking was identified as a problem in welding austenitic stainless steels early in the development of this class of alloys. A large amount of literature exists on the welding of austenitic stainless steels spanning several decades [1-6]. Apart from weld metal cracking, heat-affected zone cracking has also received attention [7-11].

1. Austenitic stainless steels are less resistant to cyclic oxidation than are ferritic grades because their greater thermal expansion co-efficient tends to cause the protective oxide coating to spall. 2. They can experience stress corrosion crack-ing (SCC) if used in an environment to which they have insufficient corrosion resistance. 3.

Caustic cracking of austenitic stainless steels is an environmentally assisted failure mode that is often forgotten and not always considered when specifying a material of construction. This type of failure mode is one of the oldest forms of stress corrosion cracking for steels and dates back to the days of early steam locomotives when it was responsible for a large number of explosions of ...
Embrittlement of Austenitic Stainless Steel Welds S.A. David, J.M. Vitek and D.J. Alexander ABSTRACT To prevent hot-cracking, austenitic stainless steel welds generally contain a small percent of delta ferrite.Although ferrite has been found to effectively prevent hot-cracking, it can lead to embrittlement of welds when exposed to elevated temperatures.
Hot crack can be defined as cracking formed at high temperatures near the solidus of the metal, where the metal has coherence but is completely brittle. It can occur in weld metals and the heat-affected zone. Almost all metals (such as carbon steel, low-alloy steel, austenitic stainless steel, nickel alloy, and aluminum alloy) may, on any scale ...
