"Cymcap Hot Crack" refers to the intergranular or interdendritic fracture that occurs in a cap component during or immediately after solidification at elevated temperatures (typically above half the alloy’s melting point, >0.5 Tm). Unlike ductile fractures or cold cracks, hot cracks form while the material is in a semi-solid, "mushy" state.
For engineers: specify filler metals with adequate manganese or ferrite, and never assume the capping pass is "just cosmetic." It is the armor of your weld, and a crack in the armor is a failure waiting to happen. cymcap hot crack
In CYMCAP, the software uses the or Neher-McGrath methods to iteratively solve for the heat balance within a cable duct or trench. A "Hot Crack" occurs when: "Cymcap Hot Crack" refers to the intergranular or
