Laser cladding (LC) can be used to repair locally corroded steel components, but the high-cycle fatigue behavior of the repaired structural components remains unclear. Focusing on applications in building steel structures, this study employed LC technology to repair notched steel plates and conducted uniaxial high-cycle fatigue tests under identical fatigue conditions on Q345 substrate specimens, unrepaired notched specimens, and LC-repaired specimens, comparatively analyzing their high-cycle fatigue performance and failure modes and identifying a two-stage stiffness degradation behavior in the repaired specimens. The experimental results indicate that the fatigue strength of LC-repaired specimens reached 167 % of that of unrepaired notched specimens, exceeding 90 % of the substrate specimens (uncorroded specimens). The improvement was particularly significant when the maximum stress was below the yield strength of the substrate. After LC repair, the specimens met the classification requirements for ground butt welds specified in various national standards. Microstructural analysis revealed that the heterogeneous microstructure of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) made it the weak region of the repaired steel plate. The repaired specimens exhibited a continuous gradual reduction in axial stiffness due to damage accumulation within the cladding layer, showing a two-stage stiffness degradation pattern characterized by a slow decline followed by a rapid drop.
