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 postweld treatments are presented. Baseplate, tee- and butt-welded fatigue specimens are covered, in addition to postweld treatments such a mechanical peening, shot peening, stress relieving, grinding, and overstressing. The information will be especially useful to designers of welded structures that are subjected o repeated loaded such as submarines and surface ships.
