ASTM A437 B4b properties

ASTM A437 B4b properties

ASTM A437 B4b properties

(OP)
Hello all,

Looking for properties for a high temperature turbine bolting material A437 B4b, in particular Young's Modulus and CTE for the purpose of a bolting calculation. The actual standard specifies hardness and tensile and yield strengths, but not YM or CTE which is understandable.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a standard set of values for these parameters? I've tried on www.matweb.com to no avail.

Thanks in advance

kclim,

This is 422 stainless steel.  At 298 K, the elastic modulus E is 199 GPa, and the thermal expansion coefficient α is 11.2 · 10-6 K-1.  You can find this information from the Material Data Sheet at the ASM International site:
