Abstract
The paper gives the results of investigation of the effectiveness of application of high-frequency mechanical peening (HFMP) with multistep and block loading to improve residual fatigue life of welded joints of low-alloyed steels with 50 % level of accumulated fatigue damages. It is established that application of HFMP technology allows 9-12 times improvement of cyclic fatigue life of such joints.
