SUMMARY:Investigations of fatigue strength of hot-dip galvanized additively manufactured steel 
DESCRIPTION:Scope of this research is the fatigue resistance of additively manufactured steel plates with galvanized surfaces. First the manufacturing process via wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) and hot dip galvanizing (HDG) of the specimens is described. In order to determine the influence of HDG on the fatigue resistance next to fatigue tests itself investigations on the surface roughness, the condition of the zinc layer and quasi-static tension on galvanized and ungalvanized specimens are pointed out. Even though, statistically no influence of the zinc coating on the surface roughness has been obtained, the zinc coating influences the surface shape in local areas leading to a reduction in the fatigue resistance due to the unidirectional dentritic growth of the Zn-Fe phase.
