The fatigue test results of as welded specimens are in good agreement with fatigue behaviour of conventianal welded joints. For machine finished welded joints of StE 355 an increase in fatigue limit of about 100 MPa was obtained. An estimated local fatigue limit of defect free weld metal can be used as an input quantity for fatigue design of laser welded StE 355 components by the local concept.enBaustahlfatigue strengthKerbwirkunglaser beam weldingLaserstrahlschweißennotch effectporeSchwingfestigkeitstructural steel667621671Fatigue strength of laser welded structural steelsSchwingfestigkeit lasserstrahlgeschweißter Baustähleconference paper
