Abstract:  
Fillets weld have a low fatigue resistance compared with other types of weld detail, and it is difficult to design structures without using them. Results are presented of screening tests on methods of life improvements that have been applied successfully to fillet welds in steels under flucturating tensile loading and are applicable to heat treatable aluminum alloys. the welding method or shielding gas used did not affect fatigue life....
