Metallurgical Concerns<br />
Since <strong>EGW</strong> is a high heat-input process<br />
where a large molten puddle is used,<br />
the cooling rate is very slow. This<br />
condition results in large (course),<br />
columnar grains in the weld zone and a<br />
wide heat affected zone (HAZ). Course<br />
grained microstructures typically lack<br />
toughness (resistance to fracture).
