EN 6072 – Aerospace metallic materials: constant amplitude fatigue testing

EN 6072 · EN standard

EN 6072 is the aerospace-series European standard defining constant amplitude fatigue test methods for metallic materials and the resulting S-N (Woehler) curve. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What EN 6072 Covers

It covers axial and bending constant amplitude fatigue testing of cylindrical and flat metallic specimens, including specimen machining and the presentation of fatigue data for aerospace materials.

How the Test Is Run

Prepared specimens are cycled at constant amplitude under axial or bending loading across a range of stress levels, and the failure lives are combined into an S-N curve for the material.

Why It Matters

Aerospace qualification relies on repeatable fatigue data; the standard’s controlled specimen machining and surface preparation reduce scatter and support airworthiness assessment.

Reading the Designation

Cited as EN 6072 with its edition year (often as DIN EN or BS EN adoptions). Confirm the version and specimen machining requirements before finalizing your setup.
