USF-2000A

Elevate your fatigue testing capabilities to the next level with the Shimadzu USF‑2000A — a cutting-edge ultrasonic fatigue tester designed for gigacycle performance and microscopic defect analysis.

20 kHz Ultrasonic Fatigue for Gigacycle Testing

• Rapid cycle fatigue evaluation: Conduct tests up to 10¹⁰ cycles in just six days, compared to ~3.2 years at 100 Hz.
• Frequency is generated by a built-in piezoelectric actuator and horn, ensuring minimal power usage (~100 W) thanks to resonance amplification.

High-Stress Testing for Tough Materials

• Ideal for 1000 MPa-class steels and other high-strength materials. Delivers strong cyclic stresses via resonance.

Inclusions & Micro-Defect Detection

• Fractures inevitably originate at internal inclusions during gigacycle fatigue tests, enabling precise failure-site analysis.

Efficiency & Economy

• Ultra-fast cycle capability: 10⁷ cycles in ~10 minutes; 10⁹ cycles in ~14 hours.
• Compact, floor-standing design with only ~100 W power draw.

Precise & Programmable Control

• Supports constant stress amplitude control via PC interface and Shimadzu’s software.

Technical Specifications

Ideal Applications

• Fatigue life testing of high-strength alloys to gigacycle range
• Structural materials (automotive, aerospace, bearings)
• Detection and analysis of internal inclusions and micro-defects

Summary

The USF‑2000A offers unmatched speed, sensitivity, and structural insights in ultrasonic fatigue testing. By enabling rapid gigacycle evaluation and revealing fracture origins, it is an indispensable tool for advanced fatigue research and materials development.
