Composition in Cs and Low Alloy Steel

1. The document provides chemical composition information for carbon steel and low alloy steel, including percentages of carbon, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, nickel, and copper. 2. It calculates a Carbon Equivalent (CE) value for the steel based on the percentages of elements, with CE values from 0.2-0.3 having very good weldability and values above 0.4 increasing susceptibility to under bead cracking. 3. Weldability and resistance to hydrogen cracking decreases with increasing carbon or martensite content in the weld metal or heat-affected zone.

1 CE value of 0.2 to 0.3 have very good weldability
2 When CE value increases from 0.4 the weld is susceptible to under bead crack
3 CE of 0.6 shows a very high crack sensitivity
4 Weldability and resistance
to hydrogen cracking generally decreases with increasing
carbon or martensite in the weld metal or the HAZ,
or both.
