Much of the domestic oil is located offshore environment where their extraction conditions have critical levels of strain and a high corrosion potential. One of the major challenges the sector is to ensure the properties of underwater joints welded steel as the mechanical strength, toughness and hardness, where the same exposed to cathodic protection can suffer hydrogen embrittlement. With the aim of avoiding the need for post-welding heat treatment of the buttering joints, an alternative is the use of double layer technique, which by means of suitable welding power ratio of the first and second layer, the aim is to obtain the tempering and refining structure with overlapping thermal cycles. To select the parameters used in the tests Higuchi layers were carried out by depositing nickel alloy UNS N06625 in high strength low alloy steel AISI 8630M with the process of welding plasma transferred arc, employing filler metal in powder form (PTA). The weldments were performed varying the welding energy, the welding technique and the shielding gas. From extensions harsh zone (HZ), soft zone (SZ), rough grain region (HAZRG) and fine grain region (HAZFG) of the heat affected zone obtained by performing microhardness and optical microscopy, better energy ratio was found, which promotes tempering and refining the microstructure of HAZ. Joints of AISI 8630M and ASTM A182 F22 were buttery with energy ratios obtained using the PTA process and filled using the MIG process. In the dissimilar interfaces generated between the low alloy high strength steels and nickel alloy UNS N06625 buttering the microstructural characterization was performed, and their mechanical properties were measured by carrying out hardness, hardness and fracture test, to evaluate the efficiency of tests Higuchi. The generated interface between the nickel alloy in powder form (buttering) and in the form of wire (joint filler) were anayzed using optical microscopy and hardness tests. The buttery joints in the condition indicated by Higuchi tests showed an intense refining HAZ of the low alloy steel. The dissimilar interface had a chemical composition intermediate between the steel used and nickel alloy. The heat affected zone (HAZ) of buttery showed a decrease in hardness, however for both steels these values of hardness test were higher than those established by the rules governing its application. The fracture test indicate that the fracture stress intensity factor (K) found for the buttery samples were consistent with the literature.
