Abstract

This work presents fatigue measurement for micromachined stainless steel (SUS304) structural substrate using resonant bending mode. Micromachined specimens for fatigue test had a cantilever structure with a proof mass. They were fabricated by FeCl3 wet etching and wire-discharged cutting. The SUS specimens had Young's modulus of 198 GPa on average. The endurance limit of micromachined specimens was 213 MPa on average after 108 cycles under our fracture definition. The large SUS specimens had the endurance limit of 229 MPa after 107 cycles.
