ASTM E2368 Thermomechanical Fatigue (TMF) Test Machine

Thermomechanical Fatigue (TMF) Test Machines simulate the combined mechanical properties that result from thermal cycling combined with mechanical fatigue. TMF dynamic testing is more sophisticated than constant temperature isothermal fatigue, and with TMF testing, a accurate service simulation and life estimation occurs of materials and engineering components used in dynamically changing high-temperature applications. Induction heaters create the high test temperature and the mechanical fatigue test system produces sophisticated complex mechanical and thermal cycling. TMF test machines perform both static and fatigue tests of test specimens subjected to synchronized heating, cooling and temperature compensated strain.
