Weld Defects - Cracks 

Thaaanks! The way you say craaaacks is a bit funny. 😅😁 The 'a' is long. Anyway, just pointing it out. It was the first thing I noticed. Great tutorial!

I wish I studied this subject in college. But since I didn't, videos like this help tremendously

Garry Pace did a great explanation of basic welding defects. He uses AWS D1.1 Code explanations ...Good work on welding surface defects. TJ Vanderloop, AWS & SME, CMfgE & LSME Author & Manufacturing-Associate

PREVENT cracks by preheating, preheating, preheating. Aws D1.1 Clause 5 fabrication code 5.6 page 168. Use the preheating table 3.3 in clause 3 to find your preheat temperature for your base material to be welded.

Damn good content dude! Thank you for the post.

Good content 👍. I'm hoping next year I will start studying for CWI exam.

Thanks! Now I know why my colleges get crater cracks. They need to increase the slope down a second or two.

Nice explanation 👍

Gary thanks for this informative video. Can you make some video on weld inspection and flaw. Thanks for your videos

Thank you soo much

Close, but no cigar. Causes of cracking is simplistic. I may have missed it, but I saw no discussion of hydrogen or service-conditions as a driving force. The nomenclature did not match common welding terminology. Embrittlement is a collect-all phrase that covers many grain structure issues without explaining why they occur - so many alloys, so little time. This may work for an Intro to Welding class for engineers. It's too elementary.

👍👍

could make the material available?

i know this guy!

1.5x you’re welcome 😅
