1、Designation:E271413Standard Test Method forCreep-Fatigue Testing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2714;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates th
2、e year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of mechanicalproperties pertaining to creep-fatigue deformation or crackformation in nominally homogeneous materials,or both by the
3、use of test specimens subjected to uniaxial forces underisothermal conditions.It concerns fatigue testing at strain ratesor with cycles involving sufficiently long hold times to beresponsible for the cyclic deformation response and cycles tocrack formation to be affected by creep(and oxidation).It i
4、sintended as a test method for fatigue testing performed insupport of such activities as materials research anddevelopment,mechanical design,process and quality control,product performance,and failure analysis.The cyclic condi-tions responsible for creep-fatigue deformation and crackingvary with mat
5、erial and with temperature for a given material.1.2 The use of this test method is limited to specimens anddoes not cover testing of full-scale components,structures,orconsumer products.1.3 This test method is primarily aimed at providing thematerial properties required for assessment of defect-free
6、engineering structures containing features that are subject tocyclic loading at temperatures that are sufficiently high to causecreep deformation.1.4 This test method is applicable to the determination ofdeformation and crack formation or nucleation properties as aconsequence of either constant-ampl
7、itude strain-controlledtests or constant-amplitude force-controlled tests.It is primar-ily concerned with the testing of round bar test specimenssubjected to uniaxial loading in either force or strain control.The focus of the procedure is on tests in which creep andfatigue deformation and damage is
8、generated simultaneouslywithin a given cycle.It does not cover block cycle testing inwhich creep and fatigue damage is generated sequentially.Datathat may be determined from creep-fatigue tests performedunder conditions in which creep-fatigue deformation anddamage is generated simultaneously include

10、imen that was initially uncracked to a specific sizethat is detectable by a stated technique.For the purpose of this standard,the formation of a crack is evidenced by a measurable increase incompliance of the specimen or by a size detectable by potential droptechnique.Specific details of how to meas
11、ure cycles to crack formationare described in 9.5.1.1.5 This test method is applicable to temperatures and strainrates for which the magnitudes of time-dependent inelasticstrains(creep)are on the same order or larger than time-independent inelastic strain.NOTE2The term inelastic is used herein to re
12、fer to all nonelasticstrains.The term plastic is used herein to refer only to time independent(that is,non-creep)component of inelastic strain.A useful engineeringestimate of time-independent strain can be obtained when the strain rateexceeds some value.For example,a strain rate of 110-3sec-1is ofte
13、nused for this purpose.This value should increase with increasing testtemperature.1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with
14、its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E4 Practices for Force Verification of Testing MachinesE8/E8M Test Meth
