Shear strength of EN24T (817M40T) 2

[jet1749]

Any one have a reference source for the shear strength of EN24T or EN16T?

 

[Carburize]

Both EN 16T and EN 24T have tensile stengths of:
Yield 98560 psi min
Ultimate 123200 - 145600 psi.

Perhaps someone can suggest a reasonable relationship between this data and shear properties.

If you cannot obtain published data, the one correlation that I have seen for approximating ultimate shear strength from tensile strength for carbon and alloy steels is

0.75 * Ultimate tensile strength

metengr,

Most of the data I have seen for shear strength is ~ 0.6 times the ultimate tensile stress.

Actual data can be found for many materials in AR-MMPDS-01 or MIL-HDBK-5:

Many thanks for your responses which have been very helpful.The 0.6 times tensile strength r.o.t seems to hold up quite well.
