Improving the fatigue life of high strength steel welded structures by post weld treatments and specific filler material (FATWELDHSS) - FINAL REPORT

The FATWELD project developed techniques for improving the performance of welded, high-strength steels (yield strengths of 700 and 960 MPa) at thicknesses of 5-20 mm, for use in fatigue-loaded, welded structures, e.g., construction equipment, transportation vehicles and lifting devices.
