Abstract

The paper presents the results of fatigue tests of a steel-aluminum welding transition joint with titanium Grade 1 interlayer. Metallic composite was subjected to microstructural analysis. Factors influencing fatigue durability were analyzed and the basic analysis of fatigue cracks observed during tests was presented.
