This paper investigates the effect of internal defects on the fatigue behaviour of friction-welded joints with an alternating torsion load. To that end specimens of St 52-3 and 42 CrMo 4 with defined and reproduceable defects will be tested. Recommendations for the extension of the calculation code for friction-welded joints will be derived from the experimental findings.
