Abstract
This paper provides guidance on the application of the burr grinding, TIG dressing and hammer peening techniques for improving the fatigue life of welded ship details. These techniques are considered to have the most potential for ship structure details. The guidance covers the types of applications and details that the treatments can be applied to, the degree of fatigue strength or life improvement that can be achieved, corrosion protection considerations, and optimal procedures. Tests on the practical application of these techniques on a representative ship structure detail are also presented and used to develop factors for estimating costs.
