Abstract
Peculiarities of transport of hydrogen in wet underwater arc welding of a root pass of the butt joint in low-carbon and low-alloy steels are considered using the calculation-experimental method. Effect of the depth of welding and type of a filler metal on the concentration of hydrogen in the weld and HAZ metal is shown.
Keywords: underwater fusion welding, mathematical modelling, transport of hydrogen, hydrogen concentration, cold cracks
