Fatigue Life Behaviour of Transverse Fillet Weld and Transverse Fillet on Weld of the HSLA S460G2+M Followed by HFMI/PIT

This study deals with the fatigue life assessment of the transverse fillet weld and transverse fillet weld on weld fatigue specimen of the offshore steel S460G2+M with a thickness of 10 mm. These specimens were joined using gas metal arc welding (GMAW) with ER80S-N1 filler metal of 1.0 mm in diameter and mixed gases of 80% Ar + 20% CO2 as the consumables. Upon the welding completion, some of the fatigue specimens are treated using high-frequency...
