Abstract The effect of post-welding heat treatment on the weld metal impact toughness of Q690 high strength steel was investigated by Charpy impact test, OM, SEM and EBSD. The results show that the impact toughness deteriorates after heat treatment, but the impact toughness improves with the increase of heat treatment temperature. According to the microstructure near the cracking origin, it is found that coarse massive ferrite is appeared near the cracking origin in all specimens, and the massive ferrite in the two-phase zone in the middle of the weld metal is the largest because the weld metal is in an overheated state. Combined with the relationship between the impact work and the grain size of the massive ferrite in the middle two-phase zone, the massive ferrite in the middle two-phase zone becomes a weakest area, which causes final cracking. The reason for the influence of heat treatment on the impact toughness is that during the heat treatment process, the weld metal has a recovery effect, and the fine packets are combined into the coarse massive ferrite that causes cracking, which decreases the fraction of the large angle grain boundaries with strong hindering ability. Coupled with the precipitation of carbide at the grain boundaries, the grain boundary embrittlement occurs, which makes the impact toughness fracture mode deteriorate from ductile fracture of the as-welded state to mixed fracture of the heat-treated state. However, with the increase of heat treatment temperature, the coarse massive ferrite began to be divided into smaller phases, which leads to the increase of the impact energy.
