Many chromium carbide alloys check-crack when cooled to moderate temperatures; this is normal. Other alloys, such as the austenitic and martensitic, do not crack when applied properly. Check cracking can be seen as cracking perpendicular to the bead length. This occurs by the high stress that is experienced when the weld metal cools. The cracking stops at the parent metal underneath, as long as the parent metal is not brittle. If the parent metal is hard or brittle, you should choose a buffer layer of a softer, and tougher, weldmetal.
