ISO 12106 – Metallic Materials Axial-Strain-Control Fatigue Testing

ISO 12106 specifies a method of testing uniaxially loaded specimens under strain control at constant amplitude, uniform temperature and a strain ratio of

R = -1. Low cycle fatigue tests.

Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) testing is a growing area of materials testing, driven in particular by increasing demand from the aerospace, automotive and power

generation industries.

ISO 12106 and ASTM E606 specify the standard practice for strain controlled fatigue testing, used for simulating mechanical loading into the plastic region.

This testing is typically carried out at very high temperatures to replicate the service conditions experienced by turbine blades in both gas turbines and jet engines.

Tension-compression machine, which shall be designed for a smooth start-up with no backlash when passing through zero.

The machine is intended to run low cycle fatigue test
