Will micro-cracks develop in the steel tube after 107 stress cycles?
The development of micro-cracks in steel tubes after 107 stress cycles is a complex material science question that depends heavily on the specific steel alloy, the manufacturing process of the tube, the stress amplitude, the environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, corrosivity), and the presence of any initial defects. Our current knowledge base does not contain specific data or fatigue limits for the packaging materials of our sensors at 107 stress cycles under varying conditions.
However, for robust and high-temperature applications, we offer the OFSCN® Alloy Tube Packaged Fiber Bragg Grating strain sensor. This sensor utilizes an all-metal seamless tube encapsulation, designed to eliminate issues like creep from adhesives, making it suitable for long-term monitoring in demanding environments where durability is crucial.
Here are some standard images of the product:
