Analysis of welded joints after fatigue tests

This bachelor thesis deals with analysis of welded joints after fatigue tests . The first part of this thesis, literary research, discusses weldability of carbon steels and low-alloy steels and effect of chemical composition on weldability of materials. Further there are zones of welded joints, their microstructure and mechanisms applied described in this thesis. There are defects occurring in welded joints and their common causes and remedies described in the part of literary research dealing with defects. And the final part of the literary research deals with material fatigue, fatigue of welded joints and effect of defects, fusion zone and heat-affected zone on the fatigue of welded joints. In the experimetal part of bachelor thesis there is described experimental material, results obtain process and discussion of results
