Image of the magnetic particle test, using a white contrast, presenting the cracks at the surface of the weld metal. The cracks are transverse to the weld and do not propagate into the base metals. A forged T in the right side of the figure and a thick wall tube in the left side of the figure, both in P12 CrMo steel.

The internal surface of the 2 1/2" thickness plate drum was welded to attach a baffle plate (1/4" thick) using two fillets (one in each side of the plate to shell), but the welding procedure was not suitable since cracks appeared underbead, although they were detected only after 6 month in operation, when the baffle was removed. The picture shows a macrography of the surface, with the cracking.

ML00071 — Reheating Cracking of a CrMo Vessel WeldM - CrMo SteelP - In Field WeldAp - EnergyCd - Welding Defect
Aspect of the butt welded joint surface, after grinding to remove the reinforcement, polishing and macro etching. There are multiple cracks, transverse to the weld and restricted to the weld metal. The surface hardness are 167HB for the tube (left side), 180 HB for the Forged T (right side) and 272 HB for the weld metal, suggesting lack of a suitable PWHT.
