Enhance product reliability and ensure full compliance with ASTM E466 standards through our advanced high cycle fatigue (HCF) testing services. At Сòòò½APP, 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.

Our HCF testing ensures that your materials are tested under varying loads, speeds, and environmental factors, providing you with precise insights into how they’ll perform in the real world.
  • Early Identification of Potential Failure Points: With our expert team and advanced testing protocols, Сòòò½APP helps you identify your materials' weaknesses before they become costly problems. Whether it’s in design, material selection, or manufacturing processes, we ensure that your products are robust and reliable.
  • Compliance with Industry Standards: We ensure your products meet industry regulations and performance standards, including ASTM E466, providing you with peace of mind and confidence in your materials.
  • Enhance Product Reliability and Longevity: Our HCF testing provides essential data for optimizing your designs, ensuring products perform better and last longer.
  • Versatile Testing for a Range of Materials: Alongside our High Cycle Fatigue testing Сòòò½APP performs a variety of other fatigue tests, including high cycle fatigue, ASTM E606 low cycle fatigueASTM E2368 thermo mechanical fatigue (TMF) testing and specialized programs on a range of metals and alloys, polymers, and components. We also provide indispensable High Cycle Fatigue Testing (HCF Testing) of engine airfoil and gas turbine components for service life limit analysis, simulating high vibration conditions of airfoils during operation.

Prevent Unexpected Material Failures with High Cycle Fatigue Testing 

Unexpected material failures can cause costly downtime and harm your brand’s reputation. Сòòò½APP’s high cycle fatigue (HCF) testing simulates real-world conditions, exposing materials to low forces and elastic deformation. Conducted on advanced axial fatigue machines, our tests often exceed one million cycles and precisely monitor forces. This approach identifies potential failure points early, reinforcing material durability and ensuring reliable product performance throughout their service life.

 

Comply With ASTM E466 Specifications

In industries like aerospace and automotive, meeting strict safety and performance standards is crucial. Сòòò½APP’s high cycle fatigue (HCF) testing adheres to ASTM E466, the industry standard for force-controlled fatigue testing. We precisely machine, polish, and align specimens to ensure accurate results. By simulating various loads, speeds, and conditions, we generate data that not only meets but exceeds industry standards. This ensures your materials comply with regulatory requirements, enhancing product design and performance, and giving you confidence that your materials will surpass expectations.

Thermal Paint Temperature Measurement

Thermal Paints are used to provide full surface temperature measurement within concealed areas. They present visual evidence of peak temperatures and isothermal distributions, with temperatures indicated by colour changes or surface texture, that occur at one or more distinct temperatures.

The paints provide temperature distributions for component surfaces that are difficult to obtain such as aero engine turbine blades, vanes, segments, combustors, or rotating components within harsh environments. 

Rolls-Royce have been using thermal paints for over 80 years There are a range of paints and services available that include:

  • Guidance and recommendation on test planning
  • Paint application
  • Test design and support
  • Post-test analysis
  • Results can be displayed through high resolution photos, 3D models, or 3D and 2D temperature embedded images
  • Technical report detailing test specification, results and conclusions
