Abstract
It has been proven that the treatment of welded seams with the aid of dressing can clearly increase the fatigue performance of welded constructions. In order to determine how the same treatment affects structures which are subject to corrosion fatigue, welded specimens of EH 36 ship steel were made. TIG and Plasma dressings were used to remelt the transient zone of the weld. The fatigue behavior of the specimens in air and artificial seawater was examined in comparison to specimens which had not been treated. The optimal parameters for these post-weld heat treatments were determined.
