The paper provides a brief overview of the technological methods studied at the Institute of Physics and Technical of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Impact-mechanical treatment is proposed as one of the promising methods for hardening surfaces and reducing residual welding stresses. The development of fundamental research in the field of development and improvement of technological methods of post-weld processing to improve the physical and mechanical properties of welded joints of metal structures operated at low climatic temperatures is an important area with high opportunities for their intro-duction into production.
