Abstract
A closed-loop computer-interfaced electrohydraulic fatigue apparatus was constructed and installed in an ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV) scanning Auger microprobe for the study of environmental effects on fatigue. Load- or (total or plastic) strain-controlled fatigue tests can be performed in the push-pull mode between atmospheric pressure and UHV (below 6.5 × 10-8 Pa) under controlled gaseous environments. The specimen mounting allows access of an electron beam for Auger analysis, an ion gun for sputtering and a secondary-electron detector for imaging. There have been several important improvements made in the electronics.
