GB/T 45878-2025 Metallic materials—Fatigue testing—Axial plane bending method
Basic Information
Scope
This document specifies the conditions for the axial plane bending fatigue test of metal material specimens (without intentionally introducing stress concentration) at room temperature (between 10 °C and 35 °C).
This document is applicable to the axial plane bending fatigue test of rectangular and beveled cross-section specimens. The detection of product components and other special-shaped specimens is not included.
This document is not applicable to reverse or partial loading tests. The purpose of the test is to provide relevant results, such as the relationship between applied stress and the number of failure cycles under different stress ratios and given material conditions (such as hardness and microstructure). Since the shape and size of notched specimens are not standardized, this document is not suitable for fatigue testing of notched specimens. However, the fatigue testing process described in this document can be applied to the fatigue testing of notched specimens in Appendix A.
