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.
For a full copy of the standard, visit the ASTM International website (www.astm.org). Always ensure you are using the most current version (2021 as of this writing) as older versions (E466-15, E466-07) are now obsolete. Have questions about implementing ASTM E466-21 in your lab?
