\begin{abstract}
The present investigation is concerned with high-cycle axial fatigue
testing of a 2 mm AA6060-T6 HYB butt weld produced in the solid state
using AA6082 filler metal additions. It complements the three-point bend
testing and the tensile testing done in two previous studies. Also,
optical and scanning electron microscope investigations have been
carried out to reveal the macro/microstructure and document possible
surface \& root defects deemed to be destructive to fatigue life. In the
as-welded condition, the HYB weld suffers from surface irregularities at
the weld face and ``kissing'' bond formation in the root region. Still,
these defects are not devastating for the structural integrity. As a
matter of fact, the subsequent benchmark testing shows that the fatigue
properties surpass those reported for a comparable AA6082-T6 gas metal
arc butt weld and fully match those reported for corresponding
high-strength laser beam and friction stir weldments.%
