High-Cycle Fatigue Testing of Aerospace Alloys

This contract involves conducting load-controlled, high-cycle fatigue testing on additively manufactured specimens of GRCop-42 and Alloy 718 at room temperature. The testing aims to evaluate the materials’ durability by inducing failure near 100 million cycles, with any specimens surviving to 100 million cycles considered a runout, as specified by NASA's test matrices. The work contributes to understanding the long-term fatigue performance of these aerospace alloys under the specified conditions. Issued by the NASA Shared Services Center under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, this subcontract falls under the NAICS code 541380, which is related to testing laboratories. The solicitation was posted on June 9, 2026, with a response deadline on June 11, 2026. Although there is limited detail on the place of performance or the point of contact, the contract’s focus on critical aerospace materials testing supports NASA's efforts to enhance material performance and reliability in demanding applications.
