The maximum shear stress of EN 19 alloy steel can be calculated using established theories such as the maximum shear stress theory and the distortion energy theory. According to these theories, the shear strength can be estimated as 0.5 times the yield strength (σy) for maximum shear stress theory or 0.577 times σy for distortion energy theory. This calculation is essential for determining the minimum shaft diameter capable of withstanding applied torque. Accurate yield strength values for EN 19 steel should be referenced to ensure precise calculations.
