The work presents results of the research on changes in microstructural, and mechanical properties of the structural XAR 400 wear-resistant steel caused by the welding procedure. Metallographic and microhardness studies revealed complex microstructure of the welds that turned out to vary with the distance from the weld axis: predominance of the acicular ferrite (ACF) structures in the weld itself, quasi-polygonal ferrite (QPF) crystals with precipitates of troostite (T) in the heat-affected zone, and the bainitic ferrite (BF) structures in the heat-partially-affected zone.
