Four-Station Rotary Bending Fatigue Testing
Accelerate material development
with overwhelmingly reduced man-hours
Optimal for testing costly
additive manufacturing materials
Significantly reduced test period
at about twice the normal speed
Testing under assumed environmental
conditions where metal is actually used is also possible
GIGAQUAD® is a testing machine that achieves efficient and very high reproducibility through the adoption of a four-station system.
Since four test pieces can be tested simultaneously, data acquisition is fast, and S-N curve creation can be performed efficiently.
We provide a consistent service from the production of test pieces for GIGAQUAD® to contract testing.

Consultation on Test Piece Shape
We will consult on the outer diameter, total length, notch diameter, etc.
※Experience with small-diameter test pieces such as Φ5 is available

Benefits of using Yamamoto Kinzoku Seisakusho’s Material Testing Service and
Four-Station Rotary Bending Fatigue Testing
- Significant reduction in material cost is possible
- Optimal for testing especially costly additive manufacturing materials
- Highly reliable data acquisition is possible
Receipt of Test Piece Material
We can handle iron, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, Inconel, resin,
quenched steel, additive manufacturing materials, and various other materials. We also offer integrated support for surface treatments such as quenching,
plating, and anodizing.
Machining
We utilize the metal machining expertise cultivated since our founding to finish the test pieces with high precision.




In rotary bending fatigue testing, it is possible to control the location of fatigue strength measurement.
Therefore, highly flexible fatigue design becomes possible.
For example, the **welding of dissimilar metals or additive manufacturing**, and furthermore, the **joint of friction stir welding** can be evaluated. This is a **unique advantage of the cantilever test piece with a notch section**.
Execution of Rotary Bending Fatigue Test
We perform rotary bending fatigue tests using test pieces manufactured with our GIGAQUAD®. Since we have corrosion environment units and high-temperature environment units, testing under assumed environmental conditions where metal is actually used is also possible.


Derivation of S-N Curve
Our GIGAQUAD® is a four-station system, allowing for highly efficient testing.
