The fatigue crack growth behavior near threshold region in a Type 304 stainless steel and its welded joints (GMAW and EBW) was investigated. The behavior in an SM50A steel and its welded joint (GM-AW) was also investigated to compare the difference of threshold behavior between austenitic steel and normal pearlite-ferrite steel. Although the effects of residual stress on the fatigue crack growth rate and threshold value were quite significant, that of microstructure of the weld metal was also
more » ... und to be significant in both welded joints: The growth rates of weld metal specimens were higher than that of parent metal specimens near threshold region when the crack growth rate was plotted against effective stress intensity range.
