Hi everyone,

I am trying to determine the load on a bar at failure. I know how to determine this at room temperature from looking at some old books, but this occured at elevated temperature.

Can anybody tell me where I could find proper material properties at working temperature? The material is a common form of steel.
 
The ASM Metals Handbook Vol. 1 "Properties and Selection Irons , Steels and High Performance Alloys" has the data you require for many of the commonly used steels.
 
If failure occurred at elevated temperature it could have been caused by Stress Rupture which typically takes some time at a lower stress than that causing Hot Tensile Rupture. Failure analysis might provide some hints.
