5 An inexperienced welder has welded a structural beam together and cooled it rapidly under water. This has caused the grain structure to become brittle. The beam will be used in the construction of a building. Which heat treatment method would be best to make the weld suitable for its purpose? (A) Heat the weld to 700 degrees Celsius and allow to cool slowly. (B) Heat to around 600-650 and hold for an hour then allow to cool slowly. (C) Heating to 300 degrees Celsius and let cool. (D) Reheat the weld to below the austenitic range and quench under water. einsog Nirw b9zU
