 abstract={The article presents the results of hot rolling tests on a feedstock composed of S355J2 and NANOS-BA® steel layers into flat bars. The study was carried out to assess the susceptibility of the materials to create S355J2/NANOS-BA clad plates in the hot rolled bonding process. The subject of the article are the phenomena occurring during the connection of well-weldable S355J2 structural steel with ferritic-pearlitic microstructure with nano-structured, non-weldable NANOS-BA® steel with nanobainitic microstructure in the process of hot rolling and heat treatment. The microstructure and selected strength properties of high-strength clad plates are described after hot rolling with integrated inter-operational annealing at 690°C for 4 h and after additional isothermal annealing at 210°C for 120 h. As a result of hot rolled bonding process with two-stage heat treatment process a durable combination of S355J2 and NANOS-BA® steels with high mechanical properties was obtained, including: Rm>1199 MPa and A=14%, without microscopically visible cracks in the joined plane. High-strength laminated flat bars combining the features of the component layers such as high strength, ballistic and abrasive resistance, while maintaining good plasticity, weldability and relatively low production costs may be the answer to the current industry demand.},
