Abstract:  
The Primary objectives of the work reported herein were as follows: (1) Modify the NASL mechanical peening procedure (previously developed for HY-80 tee-fillet welds for application to HY-80 butt welds. (2) Determine the degree of improvement in the bending fatigue properties of HY-80 butt welds obtained through the use of this procedure.
