The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) performs low temperature fatigue testing on metal materials. The mechanical behavior of materials is very important to consider when designing and manufacturing products. This is especially true when the products are used in harsh environments, including extreme temperatures. Our mechanical testing experts carry out fatigue tests that observe how low temperatures impact a material’s response to cyclic loads.
Understanding Fatigue Tests and Temperature Fatigue Tests
Fatigue tests evaluate how materials respond to cyclic stress and repeated loading, providing important information about a material’s mechanical properties, including:
- Endurance limit
- Fatigue life
- Elasticity
- Plasticity
Fatigue tests offer critical insight into a material’s durability and reliability in specific environments or under specific conditions. Temperature fatigue tests go a bit further than traditional fatigue tests by compounding the stressors of a standard fatigue test with the added stress of extreme temperatures. Temperature has a direct effect on a material’s mechanical properties, so it’s imperative that the relationship between temperature and fatigue properties is firmly understood during the design and manufacturing process of a product.
More About Our Temperature Fatigue Testing Services
Our fatigue testing lab has the personnel, credentials, and advanced testing equipment needed to conduct temperature fatigue tests on a wide array of metals, including:
- Steel
- Stainless steel
- Aluminum alloys
- Titanium alloys
Our low temperature fatigue tests subject metallic samples to low temperatures, causing stress and fatigue. We evaluate the material’s response the stress and fatigue, providing critical data about the material’s mechanical behavior. In addition to our cryo fatigue tests, we also offer tests at ambient and elevated temperatures. Our temperature fatigue test services are beneficial to clients in the aerospace, energy, power generation, and manufacturing industries.
The Importance of Temperature Fatigue Testing
Temperature fatigue tests are adept at highlighting potential durability issues materials may experience at specific temperature ranges. The testing process is incredibly important in the design and material selection processes because poorly selected and designed materials and products may fail to perform properly. Temperature tests offer several advantages for manufacturers, including:
- They help ensure that materials comply with ISO and ASTM standards.
- They provide critical insight into the material’s potential longevity.
- They identify potential areas of concern within a product.
- It’s essential in reducing the likelihood of unexpected failures.
