The welded specimens were susceptible to SCC in distilled water, with susceptibility increasing with decreasing weld metal Al (or β particle) concentration. Primary stress corrosion cracks initiated at the weld metal-HAZ interface by stress-assisted localised dissolution and propagated through the weld and base metals by transgranular and intergranular H-assisted fracture (TG-HAF and IG-HAF) respectively. The IG fracture mode may be intrinsic to the texture imparted upon the base metal by rolling. The increase in SCC susceptibility with decreasing weld metal Al concentration is contrary to the purported roles of β particles in promoting localised corrosion and as crack nucleation sites, but corresponds with increases in weld - base metal galvanic current density and weld metal localised corrosion susceptibility.

Fatigue tests of preloaded tensile shear specimens made from the material H280LA have revealed that their S/N-curves, compared to those of non-preloaded specimens, are not only located at elevated positions, but have flatter slope, too. Low cycle fatigue tests of the triple-spot weld tensile shear specimens examined yielded an increase in fatigue strength of around 50 %. Due to preloading, the notch zones in the spot welded area undergo plastic deformation as a result of high notch stresses. After specimen unloading, compressive stresses arise in this area involving a beneficial specimen behaviour under the load imposed in subsequent fatigue testing, thus causing delayed crack initiation in the spot weld area.
