Indy/Life. Eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia cost the country more than Â£15bn a year, according to the first analysis of the financial effects of the problems.
The centerline crack show on this fillet weld is the result of. low melting point material segregation (or segregation weld. cracking). Crater cracking occurs when the welding operator stops welding prior to finishing a pass on a weld joint, leaving a wide, thin depression at the end.
What you are describing is a weld crater shrinkage cavity, also known as a pipe. Figure 1 shows an example of a crater shrinkage cavity in the weld crater, which was made with a mild steel flux-cored gas-shielded wire. It is not weld porosity, but rather is a naturally occurring phenomenon found in arc welding.
