Abstract
This paper presents the results of the fatigue tests carried out on laser welded joints of DUPLEX 2205 steel (X2CrNiMoN22-5-3 according to PN-EN 10027-1:2007). The butt-welded joints were made using an Nd-YAG disk laser with no filler for two different welding parameters. The parameters were selected based on previous tests (according to PN-EN ISO 15614-11: 2005) conducted for joints made with more than ten welding parameters.The tests carried out provided a basis for the determination of optimum parameters for laser welding of DUPLEX 2205 steel in terms of fatigue life. Additionally, the fatigue test results were related to the fatigue life of samples taken from the parent material.
