The paper reports the three-point bending test results of welded joints. The joints were made of chromium-molybdenum cast steel designed for the use at elevated temperatures. TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding technique was used. The fracture energy for particular joint zones and the stretch zone width (SZW) under the notch bottom were determined in a qualitative fracture toughness assessment. Fracture surface morphology was analyzed. The stretch zone measurement indicated a qualitative relationship between its width and the values of fracture energy. The results confirmed the influence of the modification on the character of fracture and the portions of brittle and ductile fracture in particular areas of welded joints.
