Carbon steel fatigue and temperature properties

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the mechanical properties of A516 carbon steel, specifically focusing on the fatigue limit and the relationship between yield strength and temperature. Participants explore the availability of tabulated values and relevant codes for this information.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Mark initially seeks specific mechanical properties of A516 carbon steel, including the fatigue limit and yield strength-temperature relationship.
  • Mark later finds the necessary information in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code part 2, materials section D.
  • Another participant suggests that obtaining the appropriate ASME BPV section or case is necessary for accurate data on code materials.
  • There is mention of ASM books on carbon steels, but they are noted to be fairly general.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to disagree, but the discussion is primarily focused on finding resources rather than debating specific properties or values.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the reliance on specific codes for accurate data and the generality of available literature on carbon steels.

Hi everyone,

I need some specific mechanical properties of A516 carbon steel, but as yet I am unable to find it online. Can you help me find the fatigue limit and the relation between yield strength and temperature? Are there tabulated values for this?

Thanks!
Mark

edit: found it! seems i need the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code part 2: materials section D: properties...

I'm sorry you are not generating any responses at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us? Any new findings?
 
Thanks Greg,

no worries! i found where i can find the data i need and had already put it in the edit of the opening post. that's probably why nobody has reacted.
 
One pretty much has to buy the appropriate ASME BPV section/case for a code/case material.

ASM has some books, including one on Carbon steels, but they are fairly general. If one is using a case, then buy the appropriate documentation.
