ATS provides fatigue testing services to determine the integrity of critical components and structures. We serve a variety of industries and clients with speed and discretion.Fatigue begins when a crack forms due to fluctuating stress, typically near the surface. Over time, additional cracks propagate until the rest of the material cannot endure the stress, and the item fractures. However, the propagated cracks may not be visible until an item is near failure. When vulnerabilities and microcracks remain undetected, the effects can be dire.
Our Fatigue Tests
Fatigue tests identify weaknesses in materials so manufacturers and vendors can identify product defects before material fatigue becomes a liability. Fatigue testing uncovers vital information about a sampleโs projected life and durability. Clients often use our analyses to identify the following about a chosen material:
- Material properties
- Metallurgical structure
- Reaction to corrosion
- Reaction to temperatures
- Fatigue life
- Fatigue strength
- Residual stresses
ATS offers multiple fatigue testing services to manufacturers, vendors, and end-users. Our expert technicians can test a material sample or perform a full-scale test on a product or structure. Clients may choose from a selection of services, such as:
- Corrosion fatigue testing
- Fatigue crack growth testing
- Spring fatigue testing
- Polymer fatigue testing
- Custom fatigue testing
We work with various materials and conditions to see how a sample holds up under loading and unloading forces. Upon request, we can subject materials to their intended environmental conditions, from to corrosive chemicals. Our fatigue testing machines can produce temperatures as high as 1000 degrees Celsius and a weight of up to 55 Kip.
Standard Certification and Custom Testing
Our lab technicians work with clients to verify that a material, product, or structure meets applicable standards or fully custom testing requirements. We can test for compliance with industry standards, such as:
Additionally, we can tailor the test concept and procedure to a clientโs individual needs. Our special testing services allow for a broad range of mechanical testing capabilities.
