Preventing Stress Cracking in Welds

Stress cracking occurs when residual welding stresses exceed the material's strength, often in high-restraint conditions. Control through proper joint design, welding sequence, preheat, and stress relief procedures.

Low Stress

CRONIGON® 2

Reduces residual stress: CRONIGON 2 provides controlled penetration and heat input characteristics that help minimize residual stress formation in critical applications.
