Abstract:  
Information and data, accumulated over the past decade, on low-cycle fatigue behavior of large-scale HY-80, HY-100, and HY-130 steel weldments and on the effects of various post weld treatments are presented. Baseplate, tee- and butt-welded fatigue specimens are covered, in addition to postweld treatments such as mechanical peening, shot peening, stress relieving, grinding, and overstressing. The information will be especially useful to designers of welded structures that are subjected to repeated loads such as submarines and surface ships.
