Improving Fatigue Strength of Welded Joints by Ultrasonic Impact Treatment

Enhancement in fatigue performance of welded joints by Ultrasonic Impact Treatment (UIT) was evaluated with large-scale rolled beam and built-up specimens having yield strength of 345 to 760 MPa. Eighteen rolled-beam specimens having welded details at cover plates and transverse stiffeners and eight built-up specimens having only transverse stiffener details were fatigue tested after treating t...

REACTION KINETICS OF THE FORMATION OF INTERMETALLIC Fe – Zn DURING HOT - DIP GALVANIZING OF STEEL

P. Pokorny, J. Kolisko, L. Balik – Czech Technical University – Klokner Institute, Prague, Czech Republic P. Novak – Institute of Chemical Technology, Prague, Czech Republic This review article mainly describes the composition of intermetallic Fe Zn, i.e. zeta (ζ), delta (δ1k + δ1p), gamma1 (Γ1) and gamma (Γ) on galvanized steel during low temperature galvanization (t ~ 450 °C). It gives detail...

Fatigue Life Assessment of Welded Joints Considering Crack Propagation Based on Hot Spot Stress

In this study, fatigue test and crack propagation analysis of welded joints in ships and offshore structures were performed. The test models have two types of welded joints, T-joint and double plate. Test data is presented in S-N curves obtained by the Hot Spot Stress (HSS) approach. The S-N data for each length of crack were appraised to define the fatigue life of crack initiation and propagat...

Fatigue Life of Repaired Welded Tubular Joints

In this study, the effect of repair on fatigue life of tubular joints is investigated. Six cracked specimens precedently subjected to fatigue loading undergone to weld repair. Two of those specimens were shot peened before primary fatigue loading.  It is shown that repair gives rise to about 150% increase in fatigue life for original specimens while the increase of fatigue life for shot-peened ...
