Title: TENSILE PROPERTIES OF FIVE LOW-ALLOY AND STAINLESS STEELS UNDER HIGH- HEATING-RATE AND CONSTANT-TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4747434

High-heating-rate results were obtained for three lowalloy steels: 4340 (400 deg F temper), 4130 (800 deg F temper), and 4130 (1050 deg F temper) and two stainless steels: 17-7 PH (TH 1050) and 410 (700 deg F temper). Stress levels ranging from 10 to 125 ksi and heating rates varying from 40 to 2000 deg F/sec were the testing parameters. A method is devised to compare yield temperature data of high-heatingrate tests to tensile yield data of steady-state elevated temperature tests. Results indicate that high-heating-rate properties of all the materials are superior to steadystate elevated-temperature properties for heating rates of 40 to 2000 deg F/sec. For the low alloy steels, the higher the tempering temperature, the better the high-heating-rate properties. Properties of 410 stainless steel are superior to those of all other materials investigated. (auth)
