Strength of metals at elevated temperatures.

Thanks so much for your reply but following your links I was not able to find any sort of temperature vs. strength data. I have been able to find this data on some stainless steels but never for mild steel (ASTM 1008, formerly ASTM A-621).

Do you have any other suggested links or maybe steer me better on the links already provided.

Thanks again,

Ross

If I am understanding you then you are asking similar to:

How long does it take a bus to stop at various speeds? Ok. Now, how long does it take a Volvo wagon to stop at any speed. Ok. Now, a motorcycle etc etc.

The strength of a material will be given at a specific temp. From that point on ya' need ya' one of them mathametcianators - and I ain't one.

Did you check with ASME Sec II Part D ???

Which temperature range are you exactly interested in?

1,000 to 1,500 F (motorsports exhaust)

Perhaps you might try to look for results of creep testing. To my knowledge, such temperatures are actually quite high for steel alloys, might be perhaps easier to look for data referring to superalloys.

Whenever I want such data I refer to Chemical Engineers Hand book By Perry And Chilton. My company libtrary has it. May be you can try it.

I've never heard of the book but Amazon has a couple used ones listed. If you think the strength vs. temperature data would be in it I'll order one.

Thank you for your response.

I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the Steelers are in the playoffs even after losing badly today. The bad news is that 1008 is not a high temperature metal. If you want to find something that holds up OK, you can make a good first step by going to

I am with a high performance coating company. Have you consider coating technology for your application needs?
