ASTM E466

Standard practice for force-controlled constant amplitude axial fatigue tests on metallic materials.

When to use this

Use this when metallic fatigue specimens are tested under axial constant-amplitude force control.

Suitable materials

Metal fatigue specimens and prepared coupons.

What to provide for a quotation

Stress levels, R-ratio, waveform, frequency, run-out cycles, specimen drawing and material condition.

Typical outputs

Typical outputs include fatigue life, loading conditions, specimen details and run-out status.
