Patent number: 9138828Abstract: A method of production of a welded joint which enables improvement of the fatigue strength in the case where measures for improvement of the fatigue strength cannot be applied due to the presence of structurally sealed regions is provided. The method is provided with a first weld step which performs welding by forming an inside weld toe or root part by using a weld metal with a transformation start temperature of 175° C. to 400° C. in range, at least parts of the weld metal forming the inside weld toe or root part which was formed at the first weld step becoming unmelted parts, and a second weld step which performs welding for building up the weld metal by a single pass by a weld heat input by which all of the unmelted parts are retransformed to austenite so as to introduce compressive residual stress to the inside weld toe or root part.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2011Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: NIPPON STEEL & SUMITOMO METAL CORPORATIONInventors: Tadashi Kasuya, Ryuichi Shimura, Manabu Mizumoto
