MECHANICAL PROPERTIES |
||
| While Hardwear� steels are normally specified using harness testing, it is of interest to know other mechanical properties of these steels. | ||
| Tensile Strength | ||
| Bethlehem does not guarantee tensile properties of Hardwear 400F or
Hardwear 500F. However, for information purposes, Figures 6 and 7 are presented to show
typical yield and tensile strength behavior of the steels as a function of thickness. The
transverse values shown approximate those in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, both
steels exhibit fairly consistent strength, independent of thickness. Please note that
the tensile specimens used for this study had a one inch gauge length, the reported
elongation values are greater than those which would be obtained with longer gauge
lengths. |
