High strength thermally hardened steels are more difficult to weld than low carbon construction steels. There is a danger of cold cracking caused by the presence of martensite in welded joints. The thermally hardened 12 mm sheets of S540Q steel underwent research. The sheets were welded semi-automatically by MAG method, in the welding conditions usually applied in industry for welding normalized sheets of this steel. The welding technology was presented. The X-ray tests were performer, which confirmed the achievement of metallically continuous joints. Samples were taken from the joints and the joints hardness distribution measurements were conducted. The microstructure was examined and the static tensile tests as well as technological bend tests were carried out. Hardness measurements were performed in three measurement lines for each joint according to PN-EN 1043-1:2000 requirements. Joints microstructures were examined in the joints axis, in HAZ and in native materials. Steel microstructures were classified as low carbon tempered matrensite of layered construction. Mean values of the selected joints tensile strengths were also presented. The tensile tests values of native materials of metallurgic certificates were given for the sake of comparison. The research results presented in the paper made it possible to determine the weldability of S540Q steel.

The conventional heat treatment is being replaced by thermal-plastic treatment. The process of steel hardening is carried out on quenching press with a double-sided water spray at the temperatures ranging from 600 to 700°C. The steel hardening process is conducted at the temperatures of 600-700°C with cooling in the air. After this, thermal hardening the steel sheets obtain the structure of a layered tempered matrensite with carbide and cyanide disperse separations The thermally hardened S540Q steel sheets 12 mm thick underwent examinations. The welding technology was presented. The sheets were welded semi automatically by means of MAG method. The usual welding conditions normally applied in industry were used after steel standardisations. The achievement of joints metallically continuous was confirmed by X-ray tests. The static tensile test was conducted to assess the applicability of this steel. The average values of the welded joints resistance to tensile strength were given. After conducting technological bend, test good ductility was noted. Steel microstructure was defined as low carbon tempered matrensite of layered construction. Microstructure observation was carried out in the joint axis, in heat affected zone and in native material. Hardness measurements were performed according to PN-EN 1043-1:2000 requirements. Impact test was conducted on the samples with a V cut notch at the temperatures of -20, -40, -60 Celsius degrees.
