Resistance upset welding (UW) is a widely used for joining metals parts. In this research, the fatigue properties of AISI4130 steel joined by upset welding in annealed and quenched-tempered heat treated condition are investigated. Microstructure of weld and base metals was studied using optical microscopy. Tensile, impact and fatigue tests were performed and the final fracture surface was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The fatigue resistance is better for tempered martensite base metal than for the ferrite-pearlite and upset welded specimens. Results shows during the welding, proeutectoid ferrite phase forms at the interface which reduce the fatigue strength of welded specimens. Fractography of fatigue and tension welded samples indicated that in all samples fracture occurred in the middle of weld interface. Study of fracture surface of fatigue samples shows that the final fracture mode for welded samples is cleavage.

This study aims to identify an optimal heat-treatment parameter set for an additively manufactured AlSi10Mg alloy in terms of increasing the hardness and eliminating the anisotropic microstructural characteristics of the alloy in as-built condition. Furthermore, the influence of these optimized parameters on the fatigue properties of the alloy investigated. In this respect, microstructural characteristics of an AlSi10Mg alloy manufactured by Laser-Based Powder Bed Fusion in non-heat-treated and heat-treated conditions were investigated. Their static and dynamic mechanical properties were evaluated, and fatigue behavior was explained by a detailed examination of fracture surfaces. Much of the microstructure in the non-heat-treated condition was composed of columnar grains oriented parallel to the build direction. Further analysis revealed a high fraction of pro-eutectic α-Al. Through heat-treatment, the alloy was successfully brought to its peak-hardened condition, while eliminating the anisotropic microstructural features. Yield strength and ductility increased simultaneously after heat-treatment, which is due to the relief of residual stresses, preservation of refined grains, and introduction of precipitation strengthening. The fatigue strength, calculated at 10^7 cycles, improved as well after heat-treatment and finally detailed fractography reviled that a more ductile fracture mechanism has happened in the heat-treated condition compared to the non-heat-treated condition.
