Final thesis, elaborated within the master study in the field of Manufacturing technology, deals with analysis and solving of weld cracking problem in welds of anti-roll bar socket for passenger car. Sockets material is fine-grained low-alloy steel S420MC. For better understanding of the problem, a literary study has been elaborated, describing the issue. Next, an analysis of parts material and its weldability, has been conducted, according to ČSN EN 1011-2 standard. After an analysis of cracks and considering current conditions of sockets welding a series of experiments has been designed to evaluate impact of different process parameters on final weld quality. Experiments results have been used to compile a series of recommendations for adjustment of the welding process and to eliminate weld cracking. The results of the experiments were used as a basis for elaboration of WPS protocol.
