Shear Pin Material
Shear Pin Material
(OP)
We are currently using a Ø.248 shear pin made from 1215 carbon steel (ASTM A108/UNS G12150), hardness is around 80 HRB. It is shearing anywhere from 60,000-65,000 psi. We are looking for a new pin that will shear sooner. I would like to sample some different materials that will lower this shear strength, so we can best fit this to our part.
Thanks for any help offered,
James
