Gas-tungsten-arc weldments in Alloy 718 were studied in fatigue-crack growth tests conducted at five temperatures over the range 24 to 649{sup 0}C. In general, crack growth rates increased with increasing temperature, and weldments given the conventional post-weld heat-treatment generally exhibited crack growth rates that were higher than for weldments given the modified (INEL) heat-treatment. Limited testing in the as-welded condition revealed crack growth rates significantly lower than observed for the heat-treated cases, and this was attributed to residual stresses. Three different heats of filler wire were utilized, and no heat-to-heat variations were noted. 9 figures, 6 tables.
