BS EN ISO 3928:2016

What is ISO 3928 - Fatigue test pieces about?

ISO 3928 is an international standard on sintered metal materials, excluding hardmetals that discusses the criteria for manufacturing fatigue test pieces.

ISO 3928 specifies: 

• The die cavity dimensions used for making fatigue test pieces by pressing and sintering, together with certain dimensions of the test piece obtained from such a die;
• The dimensions of the test pieces machined from sintered and powder forged materials.

ISO 3928 is applicable to all sintered metals and alloys, excluding hardmetals.

Who is ISO 3928 - Fatigue test pieces for?

ISO 3928 on fatigue test pieces is relevant to:

• Mechanical engineer
• Metallurgist
• Manufacturer of fatigue test pieces

Why should you use ISO 3928 - Fatigue test pieces?

Sintered metal is a solid product made through the process of powder metallurgy from different types of metals and alloys including aluminum, copper, bronze, nickel, brass, steel, stainless steel, nickel, and titanium.

ISO 3928 provide guidance on pressed and sintered test pieces for fatigue test by reverse bend and axial testing, die specifications, machined test pieces, identification of test pieces.

As a user of ISO 3928, you are ensured of the properties of fatigue test pieces. With obedience and compliance to ISO 3928, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality fatigue test pieces by pressing and sintering. These fatigue tests help predict the durability of a part or component under its operating conditions stiffness, and strength of materials under repeated loading and to determine the total number of load cycles to failure.
