This report was prepared to give informations on a proper way to develop new consumables for the steels with improved weldability. Traditionally, hydrogen control has been pursued mainly for suppressing the HICC in HAZ but it also has contributed to HICC in weld metal. Facing the limitations in reducing the hydrogen content, it is now important to consider the microstructural control approach in order to improve the HICC resistance of weld metal . It has been shown that changes in alloy design, and hence composition and microstructure, was quite effective in producing high strength weld metal with improved resistance to cold cracking. Besides the economic test methods for evaluating susceptibility of multipass weld metal is essential to promote the development of welding consumables.
