The objective of the paper is to present the newest results of our complex research work. In order to determination and comparison of the fatigue resistance, fatigue crack growth tests were performed on different grades of S690QL quenched and tempered, and S960TM thermomechanically rolled high strength steels.15 mmand30 mmthick base materials were used for our investigations. Welded joints were made from these base materials, using gas metal arc welding with matching, overmatching, and undermatching filler metals. In the paper, the performance of the welding experiments will be presented, especially with the difficulties of the filler material selection; along with the results of the fatigue crack growth examinations executed on the base materials and its welded joints. Statistical aspects were applied both for the presenting of the possible locations of the cracks in the base materials and the welded joints and for the processing of the measured data. Furthermore, the results will be compared with each other, and the possibility of derivation of fatigue crack propagation limit curves will be referred.

There are different prescriptions containing fatigue crack propagation limit curves and rules for the prediction of the crack growth. The research work aimed (i) to determine fatigue crack propagation limit curves for high strength steels and their welded joints, based on the Paris-Erdogan law; (ii) to use the determined limit curves for engineering critical assessment (ECA) calculations. Experiments were performed on different high strength steels and their welded joints; and the propagating cracks in the specimens represent the different possible locations of the real cracks in the structural elements. Fatigue crack growth tests were executed byΔK-decreasing and constant load amplitude methods. The evaluation process consists of six steps, and by means of the selected values a statistical method can be proposed for determination of the limit curves. Engineering critical assessment calculations were performed on a welded structural element having crack like defects.
