The specimens were turned on a lathe to ensure the uniformity of dimensions in diameter. The specimen diameter at the welding point was 17.2 ± 0.05 mm, and the specimen length was 170 mm. The grip sections of the specimens were cut off without further machining. As it was mentioned in the introduction, internal friction was determined by the static hysteresis loop method. This fact allows determining the energy dissipation almost directly in the weld [1, 3–15]. The research was conducted on a KM-50-1 testing machine designed for torsion testing of metal specimens. The energy dissipation measurement by the static hysteresis loop method was conducted when loading the welded joint with an alternating torque, and the displacements were recorded by a laser sensor with digital indexing LAH-G, with a resolution of 0.5 μm. The indicator readings were taken after several preloading cycles, which corresponded to the closing of the hysteresis loop. After the loop was removed at one amplitude of the alternating torque, the loading cycle was performed at larger torque amplitude, for which a hysteresis loop was also built and so on. The welded joint loading with torque was carried out only in the elastic deforming area of the entire specimen. The energy dissipation in the welding area when applying an alternating moment greater than the static
