Chemical Engineering Basics
Steels with high carbon equivalent have poor weldability, because in these steels during welding
- A. Carbon and other alloying elements get oxidised from the weld pool
- B. Excessive ferrite forms in the heat affected zone leading to poor toughness of the weld
- C. Martensite forms in the heat affected zone leading to poor toughness/ductility of the weld
- D. Segregation of carbon and other element occurs in the weld pool leading to poor properties of the weld
