Thermal Cycle Test setup Question

Thermal Cycle Test setup Question

Thermal Cycle Test setup Question

(OP)
I have a copper conductor through a Cycloalophatic resin that I want to run a thermal cycle on for expansion and contraction of both materials to see if they fail.  Does anyone know a standard test procedure as far as number of cycles and time duration.  I have a min and max cycle temp.

thanks in advance.

RE: Thermal Cycle Test setup Question

You'll need to define your own requirements based on what you know of the application. Some conservatism will help. Is there a separating load between conductor and covering?

The best test is a functional test simulating what the parts will see in service. This could be cycling current flow in the conductor with an external cooling means to create the thermal interaction.
