In this diploma thesis, analysis of dilution in single-pass weld was analyzed. Multiple weld beads were arc welded with coated electrodes, alloyed with different chromium and carbon content on sheet metal made of structural steel S355. Welding parameters before welding each bead were the same, which means welding with the same heat input with all electrodes and thus the relevant conditions for comparison of the results. The degree of dilution of base material in weld pool was determined in three ways: by geometric method from weld cross section, geometric method with ratio of weld cross section heights and calculating on basis of comparison with EDX method of the determined chemical composition of low-dilution welds and corresponding areas of mixing. The EDX method also determined the depth of mixing zone and chemical composition of possible banding of solute-rich and solute-depleted bands. The results show that with a sufficiently large number of analyzed cross sections in a single-pass weld and with a sufficiently large number of analyzes of chemical composition on these cross sections, it is possible to accurately estimate dilution levels.
