Influence of Local Properties on Fatigue Crack Growth of Laser Butt Welds in Thin Plates of High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel

In this work, local properties such as hardness and fatigue crack grow rate in the heat-affected zone of four laser-welded butt joints in thin high-strength low-alloy steel were examined, so as to explain and predict fatigue lives at high stress levels through the fracture mechanics approach. The di...
