In situ SEM fatigue testing technology for metallic materials: a review

Fatigue failure is one of the most common fracture modes of structural materials in the industrial field. The study of material fatigue mechanisms and methods for predicting fatigue life has always been of significant interest to researchers due to the abrupt and catastrophic failure mode. In recent decades, the performance and functionality of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been continuously improved and expanded. Based on this, the development of
