PROCESS FOR MEASURING THE USEFUL LIFE OF MATERIALS SUBJECTED TO FATIGUE CYCLES AT LOW FREQUENCY.

摘要

The present invention refers to a process for measuring the useful life of materials subjected to fatigue cycles at low frequency (ferrous materials), but not being limited to those. This process consists in the application of manual, normal and cyclic force to test tubes under study by means of two implementation modes: in semi-cycles of 180° and complete cycles of 360°; this study has the purpose of accelerating the evaluation process of the materials for being used as a replacement of pieces in machine maintenance or used in the development of the prototype of new machines.
