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.
