if you keep haveing cracks forming i would switch to oil... it will cool down slower (relativeley) but less chance of stress crack .. also could be problems in forgeing .. if you overheat the steel in forgeing or heat it too long you can get grain growth ..also forgeing too cold can create problems sometimes ... good luck....
