Abstract
The paper presents analysis of the most important factors promoting cold cracking in welded Joints of hardenable steels. It is shown that the most important components causing cold cracking are «peak» stresses in as-hardened metal structure and level of hydrogen content in points of local «peak» stresses
Keywords: peak stresses, relaxation, microplastic deformation, hydrogen, delayed fracture, cold cracks, residual stresses, variable stresses
