Hydraulic Very High Cycle Fatigue Testing of AM GRCop-42 and 718

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking a vendor to perform hydraulic very high cycle fatigue testing of additively manufactured GRCop-42 and Alloy 718. The vendor will be responsible for machining and testing samples according to a provided matrix, and must be Nadcap and A2LA (ISO/IEC 17025:2017) accredited. The testing will be performed onsite at the vendor's facility, and the vendor will provide updates on fatigue testing to allow adjustments to conditions if necessary. The scope of work includes receiving and inspecting samples, tracking and machining samples, and performing mechanical testing according to ASTM E8/21 and E606/E466. Some key points to consider: • The vendor must be able to machine and test samples within 7 months of receiving them. • The vendor must be accredited in the use of ASTM E8/21 and E606/E466. • The testing will be performed at temperatures up to room temperature. • The vendor will provide updates on fatigue testing and allow adjustments to conditions if necessary. • The vendor must ship all deliverables and returned samples to Marshall Space Flight Center.
