Prior cold working seems to have only indirect effects on
the
fatigue performance of welded mild steel as far as
structures
in the as-welded condition are concerned. Obvioubly the
effects
of welding wipe out or override almost all effects of the
prior
cold working. Experimental data is needed to check this
conclusion of literature review results.
The main effect of cold.working is not the loss of
fatigue
strength but the increased susceptibility to brittle
fracture.
