Abstract
A butt-welded joint of a welded structure which includes a pair of target metals; a weld bead formed by irradiating a high-energy density beam to a butt portion between the pair of the target metals and has a width W on the irradiated side surface; and a pair of altered zones consisting of heat-affected zones formed by irradiating another high-energy density beam to both sides of the center of the weld bead in the weld bead width direction such that the pair of the altered zones are located on respective sides of the center of the weld bead and each has a band shape extending in the weld bead length direction and a method for manufacturing the butt-welded joint of the welded structure.
