Aluminium mating resistance
Aluminium mating resistance
(OP)
Could someone give me datas on mating resistance of aluminium under pressure of a tightened screw
The material is die-cast aluminium ref :
Al-Si8 Cu3Fe according ISO3522
A380.0 / SC84A according to ASTM B85

RE: Aluminium mating resistance
pG ≈ RM
where
pG = allowable surface pressure
RM = ultimate tensile strength
This relationship was derived by U. Arz et al. in Konstruktion 7-8 (2002), 38-42".

"Bearing
The ultimate bearing or crushing strength of aluminium is as difficult to define, test, or relate to tensile properties as it is with other metals. Bearing must, however, often be a criterion in the design of riveted or bolted structures, and a bearing yield stress is widely recognized; this is arbitrarily defined as the pressure (per unit effective bearing area) exerted by a pin at a round hole that will permanently deform the hole by 2% of its original diameter (Figure 1501.05.06). This stress, for most alloys, approximates in value to the ultimate tensile stress. The ultimate bearing strength of most aluminium alloys is about 1.8 times the U.T.S."
The figure on p. 43 shows Compression, Shear, Bearing Strength and Brinell Hardness for Aluminium Alloys 1200, 3103, 5251, 5083, 6062, 7004, 2014 and 7075 (increasing strength order).
