The study presents possible savings resulting from the use of deep-penetration welding processes in the fabrication of welded structures. The study-related tests revealed 80% savings of filler metals and the 50% reduction of welding distortions without compromising the maximum load-carrying capacity of welded joints. The tests involved steel grades S355J2, S460NL, S700MC, S690QL and 450HBW (Hardox) having thicknesses restricted within the range of 8 mm to 20 mm as well as filler metal grades G4Si1 and G69.
