The intergranular morphology of the cracks, at the heat affected zone of the forging, indicates it is a cold cracking probably formed when the welded joint was not yet post welding heat treated. The actual hardness values at the HAZ is 270HV10, and when it was cracked it was probably a lot higher.

Cm - Kalling Etched Micrography by OMDf - Intergranular Cracking
Micrography of a transverse section, in the center of the ring, where the cracking was closed. The cracks are thin, not corroded, intergranular and not connected to the surface, indicating a hydrogen embrittlement effect.
