High stresses can be generated by performing tests at resonance frequencies. With a 20 kHz cycle capacity, this system is able to accelerate fatigue life evaluations of metals and other materials. It is perfect for long service life evaluation of materials or high-speed vibration testing. Use of resonance requires only minimal power consumption.

Ultrasonic Fatigue Testing System
20 kHz Fatigue Testing
Ultra Efficient for Gigacycle Testing
Also for Analyzing Inclusions in Metals
This ultrasonic fatigue testing system achieves a vibration rate of 20 kHz by applying a vibration generated by a Piezoelectric element and amplified by a horn. This not only significantly reduces cycle times, it also helps discover microscopic defects and inclusions in high-strength steel materials, which can cause fatigue fractures at the megacycle level.
Features

-
It can perform tests of 1010 cycles, which would normally take 3.2 years at 100 Hz, in only six days. This exceeds the gigacycle level to achieve ultrahigh efficiency.
-
The efficiency of identifying and analyzing inclusions can be increased dramatically by using an ultrasonic fatigue testing machine to the point of fatigue fracture, which ensures a defect or inclusion will be discovered on the fracture surface.
