In this work an Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) sheet of the Transformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) type currently employed in the automotive sector was welded using a Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and a CO2 Laser Beam Welding (LBW) processes. The mechanical properties of welded tensile specimens including microhardness were determined and the results were related to the exhibited microstructures. It was found that LBW lead to relatively high hardness in the fusion zone (FZ) indicating that the resultant microstructure was predominantly martensite. In the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ), a mixture of phases consisting of bainite and ferrite was present. Similar phase mixtures were found in the HAZ and Fusion Zone (FZ) of the GMAW samples. The exhibited microstructure did not result in mechanical degradation when the GMAW specimens were tested in tension as all the fractures occurred in the BM. In contrast, the region adjacent to the HAZ of most tensile specimens welded using LBW failed by brittle cleavage. Apparently, in this region tempering effects due to heat dissipation in the LBW process promoted carbide growth and a relatively coarse microstructure. No embrittlement was found that could be associated with the development of martensite. Neste trabalho, uma chapa de aço de alta resistência (AHSS - Advanced High Strength Steel) tipo TRIP (Transformation Induced Plasticity) empregado atualmente no setor automotivo foi soldado usando o processo de soldagem a arco com arame solido sob proteção gasosa (GMAW) e soldagem com LASER de CO2 (LBW). As propriedades mecânicas das amostras soldadas quanto a tração e microdureza foram determinadas e os resultados foram relacionados com as microestruturas apresentadas. Verificou-se que a solda com LBW chegou a valores realtivamente altos de dureza na zona fundida (ZF), indicando que a microestrutura resultante foi predominantemente de martensita. Na zona termicamente afetadas (ZTA), encontrou-se uma mistura de fases de bainita e ferrita. Misturas de fases semelhantes foram encontrados na ZTA e na ZF das amostras feitas com o processo GMAW. A microestrutura apresentada não sofreu degradação mecânica quando as amostras foram testadas à tração com todas as fraturas ocorrendo no metal de base (MB). Em contraste, a maioria das amostras de tração soldadas usando LBW falharam por clivagem frágil na região adjacente a ZTA. Aparentemente, nesta região ocorreu uma têmpera devido à dissipação de calor no processo LBW promovendo o crescimento de carbonetos e uma microestrutura relativamente grosseira. Nenhum fragilização foi encontrada que pudesse ser associada com o desenvolvimento da martensita
