This update refines best practices for one of the most common types of fatigue testing—ensuring repeatability, accuracy, and safety across laboratories worldwide. ASTM E466-21 outlines the standard procedures for performing force-controlled, constant amplitude, uniaxial fatigue testing on metallic specimens. "Force-controlled" means the load (stress) is the independent variable, and the material's strain response is measured as a result. Contact our materials testing team or leave a comment below
If your work involves evaluating how metallic components behave under repeated, fluctuating loads, you have likely encountered ASTM E466. In 2021, ASTM International officially updated this critical standard to . uniaxial fatigue testing on metallic specimens.
