In this study, first,diffusible hydrogen of cellulosic electrode E8010-P1 and low hydrogen electrode E8018-G was measured by mercury displacement method according to ISO3690. Then,the effect of preheating and post-heating on the sensitivity to hydrogen inducedcold cracking in welding of 18mm API5L X70 steel with these electrodes was investigated according to ISO17642-2. The results of visual inspection, penetrant test,metallographic examination, and hardness test showed that welding with cellulosic electrode leads to cracking unless both preheating and post-heating are applied.While in the case of low hydrogen electrode, cracking occurs only if no preheating or post-heating is applied.
