This article deals with the new results from measurement of mechanical properties of P92 welded joints. Tested specimens (welded joints of P92 steel) were prepared using GTAW technology (141). After the welding the different modes of Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) were made and the values of hardness, tensile strength and impact toughness of weld metal and heat-affected zone (HAZ) were measured. The aim of the research is to find the dependence between the mode of PWHT and the mechanical properties of weld metal and heat-affected zone. This study contains mechanical properties of P92 welded joints obtained in the years 2011-2014.P92 is modern heat-resistant high-alloy steel used in thermal power plants with supercritical parameters (600 °C / 30 MPa), therefore it is necessary to find out the mode of Post Weld Heat Treatment, where the advantageous combination of mechanical properties will be achieved.
