Purpose: An analysis of application possibilities for PTA-GMA hybrid welding in large-sized high- strength steel structures that require using particularly effective and high-performance technologies as related to quality and costs. Design/methodology/approach: Welded joints were made of S960QL steel by employing plasma and GMA hybrid welding by using various welding parameters. The tests were designed so that interrelations between particular welding technologies can be demonstrated. Macroscopic and microscopic examinations as well as hardness and tensile strength tests for welded joints were carried out. Findings: It has been shown that traditional welding methods SAW and GTA can be replaced by PTA-GMA hybrid welding. The obtained welded joints show different geometric features and hardness depending on welding technology used. Research limitations/implications: The description of welded joint structure and mechanical properties was based on welding toughened steels by using an innovative welding method and a filler that has been proposed. Practical implications: The parameters of plasma and GMA hybrid welding for industrial uses were established at the company Teleskop Sp. z o.o. The selected best welding technologies will be subject to welding procedure approval according to PN-EN 15614-1 and implemented into mass production. The information gained from toughened steel welding is an important basis for future research on metallurgical walkability by using high-performance methods of hybrid welding of large-sized structures. Originality/value: The problems associated with welding S960Q steels by using various welding technologies, including the use of an innovative GMA plasma hybrid welding method that is still at the initial stage of research work and there are no original references regarding the suitability of the a/m welding method for large-sized structures made of high-strength toughened steels were established. It has been shown that PTA-GMA hybrid welding has a significant effect on base metal structural changes resulting from a unique nature of combined heat sources of plasma and electric arc.
