Abstract
Laser peening without coating (LPwC) can introduce compressive residual stress to the surface and, therefore, is effective in enhancing the fatigue strength. This study used butt welded structural steel joints to investigate changes in the residual stress and the hardness near the toe of the welded zone and to examine the major factor causing the improved fatigue strength due to LPwC. It is concluded that the generation of compressive residual stress by LPwC is the major factor improving the fatigue strength, because the reduction in compressive residual stress due to stress relief annealing decreased the fatigue strength to the same level as that of butt welded joints without LPwC.
