CE=
0.32
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.
