Abstract
The aim of this research was to develop a process for welding BORON 27 type quenched steel, manufactured in Finland. The composition of a shielding gas mixture was selected by means of trials: 90% Ar, 5% CO2, and 5% O2. Joints were reproduced by this method, i.e. welded, quenched joints as well as unquenched welded joints, and were tested for quality. Tests included X-ray radiography, macroscopic testing, hardness tests, and tearing and bending resistance tests. The results of these tests were presented in the article.
