Fatigue life and fatigue crack growth behaviour of the electron beam welded AISI 409M ferritic stainless steel joints in comparison with the gas tungsten arc welded joint and the base metal was studied. It is found that the joint fabricated by the electron beam welding process exhibited superior fatigue performance than that of the gas tungsten arc welded joint. Formation of a dual phase lath ferrite with fine martensitic microstructure, superior tensile properties and favourable residual stress field are the main reasons for the enhanced fatigue life and fatigue crack resistance of the electron beam welded joint.
