Shear Factor is for mild carbon steel in direct shear?

Shear Factor is for mild carbon steel in direct shear?

(OP)
Does anyone know what the shear factor is for mild carbon steel in direct shear?   

I need a dowel pin to shear and release two parts at a given load. The load is applied perpendicular to the dowel pin axis.

I want to calculate the pin diameter that will shear at this load.  I know the UTS is 75 ksi. I just need the shear factor so I can calculate the shear strength.  Shear Strength = Shear Factor x U.T.S.

Thanks.

Check your pin's CMTR.  Actual tensile/shear may be significantly higher than the specified value.
