Can a hydraulic tensile tester perform low-cycle fatigue tests?

Absolutely. This is a core strength of a servo-hydraulic system. These machines are exceptionally well-suited for low-cycle fatigue (LCF) testing, where materials are subjected to high-strain, cyclic loads until failure (typically from 1 to 100,000 cycles). The fast response of the servo valve allows for precise control of complex load or strain waveforms, making them ideal for studying the durability of welds, aerospace components, and structural metals under simulated service conditions per standards like ASTM E606.
