High-Temperature Fatigue Testing Systems
High-temperature fatigue testing systems include Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF), Thermomechanical Fatigue (TMF), and Electro-Thermal Mechanical Testing (ETMT) systems. LCF systems assess the performance of materials at elevated isothermal conditions when subjected to high loads and plastic deformation. TMF and ETMT systems simulate the complex effects of thermal cycling combined with mechanical loading, normally experienced by gas turbines and similar equipment during operation. All Instron high-temperature fatigue testing systems are fully integrated packages that allow our customers to carry out testing quickly and efficiently, in compliance with all relevant standards.
Low Cycle Fatigue systems assess the fatigue performance of materials at elevated isothermal temperatures. Tests typically apply strain-controlled cycling that produces plastic deformation in the specimen, helping predict the life of components exposed to repeated high loads at operating temperature.
The Instron Thermomechanical Fatigue (TMF) testing system is a modified 8801 servohydraulic test frame that provides streamlined analysis of combined thermal and mechanical loading cycles on high-performance materials.
Instron's Electro-Thermal Mechanical Testing System measures mechanical and physical properties, as well as microstructural stability, under thermal exposure.
