Fatigue Limit Improvement and Rendering Defects Harmless by Needle Peening for High Tensile Steel Welded Joint

The effects of needle peening (NP) on the bending fatigue limit of a high tensile steel (HTS) HT780 (JIS-SHY685)-welded joint containing an artificial semicircular slit on the weld toe were investigated. Three-point bending fatigue tests were conducted at a stress ratio of <i>R</i> = 0.0...
