How do I find the shear stress of stainless steel? I have found a reply on that quotes .577[σ]u, but I do not know how reliable this is. None of the handbooks quote it, and neither does Matweb.com.

Is there something weird about stainless steel that I need to know?

I assume you referring to the ultimate shear strength? This is usually ~0.6*UTS. If you search Eng-Tips for octahedral shear stress, you will find previous threads that discuss this topic.

There are books about just how weird it is, but the first problem you'll run into is that it work hardens, a lot.

Browse the Special Metals website for more detail than you can stand.
Then do the same for Allegheny Ludlum and Outokumpu and Carpenter Technology.

If you are talking about annealed 300 alloys then the low yield and high work hardening make them rather strain rate dependent.
For either a cold worked SS or a PH grade I would take 58% of UTS and be happy.

EdStainless,

Thank you.

The screws are holding mounting feet onto an airborne rack that must survive a 9G crash. How would that strain rate affect everything?

I believe NASA's Fastener Design Manual shows:
Alloy and carbon steels ultimate shear stress = 0.6 Ftu
Stainless steels ultimate shear stress = 0.55 Ftu

well it appears the link is down & can not be reconnected.
I happen to downloaded yesterday.

so I am set.
