Enhance product reliability and ensure full compliance with ASTM E466 standards through our advanced high cycle fatigue (HCF) testing services. At Element, we specialize in accurately predicting the long-term performance of your materials under repetitive stress, providing you with the utmost confidence in the durability of your products.

What is High Cycle Fatigue Testing?

High cycle fatigue testing assesses how materials respond to cyclic forces, primarily under low applied stresses where deformation remains elastic. This testing is crucial for simulating specific scenarios and investigating real-world failures.

High Cycle Fatigue Testing Procedure

High cycle fatigue tests take place on an axial fatigue testing machine with a force-monitoring system. The sample is first machined, longitudinally polished, and ground into cylindrical or flat test specimens with a uniform or hourglass gage section. Our Engaged Experts perform alignment and verification of the machined specimen before beginning any testing.

During an HCF test, samples experience frequencies ranging between 20 Hz and 100 Hz, depending upon material types and environmental conditions. Testing continues until specimen failure or until a predetermined number of cycles is reached.

Benefits of High Cycle Fatigue Testing with Element
