Fatigue Properties of Chinese steel

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The cyclic fatigue properties of Chinese steel 30Mn2 are critical for performing fatigue life analysis on components such as truck spindles. The chemical composition of 30Mn2 includes 0.27-0.34% Carbon, 0.17-0.371% Silicon, and 1.40-1.80% Manganese, as per the Chinese National Standard GBT3077-1999. Mechanical properties after heat treatment indicate a tensile strength of 785 MPa and a yield strength of 635 MPa, with an elongation after fracture of 12% and a hardness rating of <=207 HB10/3000. These properties are essential for engineers and designers working with this material.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of cyclic fatigue testing
  • Familiarity with Chinese National Standards, specifically GBT3077-1999
  • Knowledge of mechanical properties and heat treatment processes
  • Experience with material selection for engineering applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the fatigue life analysis techniques specific to steel alloys
  • Explore the impact of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of 30Mn2
  • Investigate alternative AISI steel grades for comparison with 30Mn2
  • Learn about the testing methods for cyclic fatigue properties in metals
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, material scientists, and mechanical designers involved in the analysis and application of steel materials, particularly those focusing on fatigue properties and performance in automotive components.

Hi everyone, I just joined and was wondering if anyone could help me in finding the cyclic fatigue properties of Chinese steel, specifically 30Mn2? I need to perform a fatigue life analysis on a Chinese truck spindle, but cannot find the properties anywhere. I have tried to match the chemical composition and basic mechanical properties with an AISI steel to use as a go-by but have had no luck.

Can anyone help me out?? Thanks!
