Abstract

The present study is aimed to examine the structure of a welded joint of low-carbon structural steel A 516–55 formed by melting under laser irradiation and by subsequent melt solidification. The main disadvantage of the weld structure in this steel is the formation of plate- and needle-like Widmanstätten ferrite in the conditions of ultra-fast heating and cooling which adversely affects the strength properties of the welded joints. It is shown that the application of ultrasonic vibrations during welding changes the melt solidification conditions and positively affects the dispersion of dendrites and growing Widmanstätten ferrite crystals.
