โฆ Synopsis
This paper describes a numerical analysis which relates the sulphur content of structural steel and hydrogen induced cracking in welded-joints. Transient hydrogen concentration and hydrostatic pressure at the joint were calculated based on a mathematical model.
The study indicates that, to reduce the possibility of cracking, both hydrogen and sulphur contents should preferrably be kept minimal. If considerably high hydrogen input of electrodes (greater than 15 cc/100 gm dep. metal) is unavoidable, then materials with sulphur content less than 0.010% should not be used.
