Carbon steel fatigue and temperature properties

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for specific mechanical properties of A516 carbon steel, particularly the fatigue limit and the relationship between yield strength and temperature. The original poster, Mark, initially struggled to find this information online but later discovered that the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, specifically part 2, section D, contains the necessary data. Mark's follow-up indicates that purchasing the appropriate ASME documentation is essential for accessing detailed properties. Additionally, while ASM offers general resources on carbon steels, they may not provide the specific data needed for code compliance.

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.
