The AWS states that for an equivalent carbon content above 0.40% there is a potential for cracking in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) on flame cut edges and welds. However, structural engineering standards rarely use CE, but rather limit the maximum percentage of certain alloying elements.
The American Welding Society (AWS) publishes over 240 AWS-developed codes, recommended practices and guides which are written in accordance with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) practices. [1] The following is a partial list of the more common publications: [citation needed]
Welder certification is based on specially designed tests to determine a welder 's skill and ability to deposit sound weld metal. The main part of the welder's test consists of welding one or more test coupons which are then examined using non-destructive and destructive methods. The extent of certification is described by a number of variables ...
As the equivalent carbon content rises, the weldability of the alloy decreases. [ 4 ] High-strength low-alloy steels (HSLA) were developed especially for welding applications during the 1970s, and these generally easy to weld materials have good strength, making them ideal for many welding applications.

Hardenability is the depth to which a steel is hardened after putting it through a heat treatment process. It should not be confused with hardness, which is a measure of a sample's resistance to indentation or scratching. [1] It is an important property for welding, since it is inversely proportional to weldability, that is, the ease of welding ...
The symbolic representation of a V weld of chamfered plates in a technical drawing. The symbols and conventions used in welding documentation are specified in national and international standards such as ISO 2553 Welded, brazed and soldered joints -- Symbolic representation on drawings and ISO 4063 Welding and allied processes -- Nomenclature of processes and reference numbers.
Zone II includes most carbon steels with a carbon content above 0.10%. Steels in this zone can be prone to cold cracks. In this case, it is preferable to use low hydrogen filler and slow the cooling rate during welding process. Zone III includes alloy steels with a carbon content above 0.10% and a high carbon equivalent index. Materials in this ...
