    Lamellar tearing is a type of welding defect where cracks form parallel to the work surface in the base metal under the welding line, caused by tensile stress in the through-thickness direction from weld and base metal shrinkage acting on impurities or inclusions parallel to the surface, resulting in tears or cracks in the base metal.

    What is Lamellar tearing

    Welding Defects – Lamellar Tearing; 

    Lamellar Tear is a crack that is a step in the base metal under the welding


    line. The cracks lie parallel to the work surface, especially with the Rolled
    Steel Plate.

    Lamellar Tear is caused by Tensile Stress in Through-Thickness direction.


    This comes from the shrinkage of the weld and the base metal itself has
    impurities or inclusions that are parallel to the work surface Thus causing a
    tear or crack Lamellar Tearing up.
