Nickel <strong>Welding</strong>:<br />

The faster a nickel alloy weld solidifies (freezes), the less time it spends in the<br />

temperature range where it can tear. For this reason pre-heating, which slows<br />

down the cooling rate of the weld, is actually harmful, as it permits more<br />

opportunity for hot tearing to occur.
