SWC cracking that connects hydrogen-induced cracks on adjacent planes in a steel Note 1 to entry: This term describes the crack appearance. The linking of hydrogen-induced cracks to produce stepwise cracking is dependent on the local strain between the cracks and the embrittlement of the surrounding steel by dissolved hydrogen. HIC/SWC is usually associated with low-strength plate steels used in the production of pipes and vessels.
