Resumen: This paper is concerned with the fatigue behaviour of T6 heat-treated AlMgSi1 aluminium alloy weldments. The fatigue tests were carried out using two types of welded joint: T and single lap. The main objective of this research was to study the efficiency of fatigue life improvement techniques, such as post-weld heat treatment and weld toe’s burr dressing, for thin joints manufactured in a 6000 series aluminium alloy. A fatigue strength improvement was obtained with both the post-weld heat treatment and the burr dressing, being this fact discussed for both geometries. Finally, a single lap joint series was tested under bloc variable amplitude loading and the correspondent experimental results were modelled with the Miner’s rule. A good agreement was verified between these results and the S-N curve obtained for constant amplitude loading.
