Abstract

The advantage of using HSLA steels in the case of structures subjected to cyclic stresses lies in an improvement in the local geometry of the weld toe or in the introduction of residual compressive stresses in the vicinity thereof. Recent bibliographic reviews show the advantage to be gained from using improvement techniques in order to increase the number of cycles needed to initiate a crack, or even to eliminate the conditions required for initiation. The aim of this study is to compare the behavior of several types of fillet weld joints which may or may not have undergone improvement treatment.
