ASTM E466 covers the standard practices for conducting force controlled constant amplitude axial fatigue tests of metallic materials. The test is used to determine the fatigue strength of metallic materials. The practice is not indented for determining fatigue strength of parts or components. The specific requirements of testing machines and their accompanying controllers that produce axial force are outlined by ASTM E466. The test machine cycles the material in elastic strain region until failure.
