[0054]

[0055] Table 2. Tensile and side bending properties of the welded joints

[0056]

[0057] From Table 1-Table 2 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the comprehensive mechanical properties of the welded joints of the welding method of examples 1-3 are excellent, the austenite grains in the weld and the heat affected zone are not obviously increased, and the mechanical properties can be ensured.
