A modern technology for joining materials welding is commonly used in various industries. It is a process of interaction of thermal, mechanical and metallurgical properties and behaviors. Complex phenomena, such as solidification, microstructural changes and defect formation, have a great impact on the quality of welded joints. This article presents the results of studying the features of the austenite decomposition kinetics in the application of laser-hybrid welding technology, in a combination with multi-arc automatic submerged arc welding. The cooling rates are determined, affecting the change in properties of HAZ of welded joints on pipe steel of strength class K52. Using the dilatometric method, studies were conducted and thermo-kinetic and structural diagrams were constructed. Analysis of diagrams and microstructures showed that, as a result of the impact of the laser-hybrid welding process in the area of HAZ, the decomposition of austenite occurs mainly in the martensitic zone, followed by the formation of a bainite-perlite structure, due to recrystallization from the heat generated by the facing seams.
