Abstract: The dissimilar rotor steel welded joint (12Cr/30Cr2Ni4MoV) with buttering layer is fabricated by using the combined welding technology of narrow-gap tungsten inert gas (NG-TIG) and narrow-gap submerged arc welding (NG-SAW). The shear strength of joint microzone is obtained by microshear test, and the ductile-brittle transition temperature FATT50 of microzones is obtained by partition test. The influence of microstructure on hardness, strength and toughness of microzones is investigated. The results indicate that the distribution characteristics of hardness and shear strength in welded joint are basically the same. The mechanical properties of HAZs exhibit gradient distribution, and interface mechanical properties mismatch on both sides of the fusion line. There is a local weakening area in buttering layer, and the micro-hardness value is 227 HV, which is the weakest area of the whole welded joint. From base metal 12Cr to 30Cr2Ni4MoV, the ductile-brittle transition temperature FATT50 of joint microzones gradually decreases. At 20℃, the impact toughness of 30Cr2Ni4MoV and its heat affected zone is excellent, with generation of cracks at the interface between matrix and second phase, ductile fracture occurs through the aggregation of micropores. Quasi-cleavage fracture occurs in all the other microrzones, and the impact toughness of welded metal is the weakest.
