What Is High Cycle Fatigue Testing?

Westmoreland Mechanical Testing & Research (WMT&R) provides high cycle fatigue (HCF) services that can help in determining the fatigue strength of a particular material through a variety of tests including but not limited to:

  • Axial Fatigue (ASTM E466)
  • 3-Point Bend Fatigue
  • 4-Point Bend Fatigue
  • Cantilever Fatigue
  • Rotating Beam Fatigue (RR Moore style) 

 HCF

High cycle fatigue testing is typically conducted on specimens in load/stress control to develop Stress-Life (S-N) Curves.  An S-N Curve is generated by testing samples at a constant load/stress and recording the number of cycles to failure.  The data is then compiled and a best trend fit is applied.  This establishes a relationship between a particular load/stress level and the fatigue life of the material. 

 

Why Use High Cycle Fatigue Testing?

Understanding this relationship of load/stress level and fatigue life can be imperative to performance of a proper material design for aerospace, aeronautic, automotive, motorsport, ministry of defense, oil/gas, and power generation industries.
