Abstract

Reasons for hot cracking formation are frequently present. Metallurgical aspects represent only one conceivable contingency. Some years after the active period there is time to clear up the writing desk. It is amazing and interesting how many unanswered and unclear cases exist. Some of them are worth to be reflected again. Four of them will be presented in this contribution:

  1. 1.

    What sort of influence on hot cracking is created by the welder himself?

  2. 2.

    Hot cracking occurs in a material which normally is hot crack-proof. What is the reason?

  3. 3.

    Is it possilble to weld an extremly hot crack-sensitive material nearly without hot cracks?

  4. 4.

    What is the reason for hot cracking in the heat affected zone of the base material?
