Preheating before welding is done to____________________?

Correct answer: D. Prevent cold cracks

  • A. Make the plate softer
  • B. Burn oil & grease sticking to plate surfaces
  • C. Avoid plate distortion
  • D. Prevent cold cracks

Explanation

Preheating slows the cooling rate of the weld and reduces the formation of hard, brittle structures and hydrogen-induced cold cracks. It is not primarily intended to prevent distortion, which is controlled by welding sequence and restraint.
