| Summary: | This paper presents the results of tests on the fabrication of welded joints in S1300QL steel according to the requirements of ISO 15614-14 and ISO 12932. The butt-welded joint without bevel was made from 350 × 150 × 8 mm sheets. The welding process was carried out at the hybrid welding (laser–MAG) station. MAG means metal active gas. The test welded joints were subjected to non-destructive and destructive testing. Visual and radiographic examinations were carried out. The distribution of HV10 hardness was determined in the weld, the heat-affected zone, and the base material. The microstructure of these areas was also analysed for the presence of hard and brittle hardening products and non-metallic inclusions. Tensile strength and yield strength, as well as bending strength, were assessed in the mechanical property tests. The impact test was performed in accordance with ISO 9016.
