Stainless Steel 17-4PH Allowables
- Thread starter AH11
- Start date
The allowable stresses for fasteners are based on the application (geometry, forces, temperatures, etc.).
For joints that require preload, values between 50% and 100% of the yield strength are used.
For a dowel, the only parameter is ultimate shear strength. Typically, this is 0.6*Fu. If it is a critical application, you will need to test it.
