Abstract

Microcracks are always present in the deposited metal of 10MnNi2MoVA steel weld seam, which affects the safety of the power plant steam pipeline. It is important to investigate the effect of heat input on the hot cracking sensitivity of the EA395-9 weld metal. In this work, the deposition of the weld metal of EA395-9 was prepared, then the hot cracking tendency of the weld with the different heat input was analyzed and observed. The results show that the moderate welding heat input can help to avoid hot cracking.
