The present investigation provides an assessment of the influence of the force parameters of rotary friction welding (RFW), namely the friction force and the forging force during welding tubular samples with a diameter of 73 mm and a wall thickness of 9 mm from Cr-Mn-Mo steel G105 according to API 5DP in connection with AISI 4340 The microstructure, microhardness, tensile mechanical properties and impact strength of welded joints after welding and after post-weld stress-relieving tempering were studied. The evolution of the microstructure was studied using optical and scanning electron microscopy. The length of microstructural features of the joint such as thermomechanically affected zone (TMAZ) and heat affected zone (HAZ) were measured. The welded joint of G105 and AISI4340 steels under the studied conditions has equal tensile strength compared to the base G105 steel, both in the initial state after welding and after post-weld tempering. It has been shown that carbide particles of various morphologies, separated during welding and subsequent tempering, play a major role in the processes of strengthening the thermomechanical affected zone (TMAZ). The tensile failure location is fixed in the G105 base steel. It has been established that welding power parameters influence the impact toughness of the steel interface zone: with an increase in welding force parameters, an increase in impact toughness and fracture ductility occurs. The highest impact strength occurs after the following welding parameters: friction force 145 kN, forging force 280 kN, rotation speed during friction 600 rpm, burn-off length 7 mm and subsequent tempering at 550oC. Fractographic studies have established that the fracture surface after this treatment consists entirely of small dimples of ductile fracture. This mode can be recommended as optimal for obtaining an equal-strength connection with high impact strength.
