Low cycle fatigue test according to ASTM E606 at elevated temperature

Materials that are subjected to extreme thermal and mechanical loads can only be designed within the range of their low cycle fatigue, i.e. up to a maximum of 10^5 load changes. Prime examples include turbine blades and discs used in aircraft engines and stationary turbines for power-generation.
The video shows the test of a threaded specimen on a servo hydraulic testing machine. The machine has an integrated power unit and does not require additional cooling. It is equipped with a short high temperature furnace and hydraulic high temperature grips for clamping. The software testXpert R will deliver all relevant results required by the ASTM E606.
