description TIG-Dressing treatment is often used for steel welded joints in construction machinery manufacturing as an effective and reliable method for post-weld fatigue strength improvement. This paper investigates the fatigue performance of thick Q355D cruciform joints in heavy load-carrying steel structures under different TIG-Dressing treatments. Two TIG-Dressing treatments for the full-penetration welded joints were used for fatigue tests considering filling metal during this post-welded processing. Experimental tests studied the fatigue strength of TIG-Dressing cruciform welded joints of Q355D structural steel. The geometric parameters and relevant statistical analyses were performed by actual 3D optical measurement. Moreover, the stress concentration factors are calculated according to the actual geometrics of the welded joint. On the other hand, the effective notch stress and hot spot stress methods were employed to evaluate the fatigue data of Load-Carrying Welded joints (LCWJs) under different notch radius. The collected fatigue data from the literature was compared with the tested data by the above methods. The results show that the fatigue strength of LCWJs under TIG-Dressing processing without filler metal is higher than those under the same TIG-Dressing treatment with filler metal. The effective notch stress method with a fictitious notch radius r = rtrue + 1 mm (rtrue is the actual notch radius at weld toe) could obtain smaller scatter bands for the tested fatigue data.
