Elasticity module of some constructional steels ???

Elasticity module of some constructional steels ???

Elasticity module of some constructional steels ???

(OP)
Hi all,

I really hope you can help me on this particular problem:
I'm having hard times on getting the elasticity modules "E" of some steels:
* S355J0, at 20°C
* 30CrNiMo8, at 20°

In fact, the calculations I've got to perform are a bit susceptible on this value of "E", but I can't manage to get univoque and "universally-accepted" values...
MathWeb has not provided to be a good resource, and neither Stahlschluessel.

Thank you in advance,
regards

30 million psi.

Hi,
thank you Swall, but the answer you provide doesn't help me because it doesn't distinguish between the two materials I asked about. They do are different (in particular, alloy steel 30CrNiMo8 has a very strongly temperature-dependent "E") and I'm really looking for reliable values AT 20 [°C], without of course having to ask a supplier for a stress-strain curve. Well, this last thing is an option, but I'd prefer finding other ways before... winky smile

Regards

cbrn,

Both of those alloys will have essentially the same elastic modulus at 20 °C - around 207 GPa or 30 million psi (within ~ 5 %).  Elastic modulus can vary based on preferred crystallographic orientation, and with measurement method.  I doubt your analysis will be compromised using this value.  If you need to know it more precisely, you will need to conduct testing on actual parts.

Regards,

Cory
