Where to find torsional strength of stainless steel varients
Alright, I've found that a table providing ultimate shaft failure limits does not exist. So, can anyone provide me a link to information or the title of a book about how to use hardness, or other attributes, to determine torsion failure limits? For example, the shaft is hardened to RC 26-32...- jeffbiss

Where to find torsional strength of stainless steel varients
unclesyd, When I searched for UTS I got a bunch of results that were all over the map. Thanks for the definition. I just wasn't sure whether it was a standards organization acronym or not. I am designing a therapeutic device and am currently mocking it up in wood with off-the-shelf parts from...- jeffbiss

Where to find torsional strength of stainless steel varients
unclesyd and CoryPad, Thanks for your replies. Now to do more research. unclesyd, I assume that you mean that if I locate torsional strength values for UTC steel and multiply it by 0.4 then I have the torsional value for unhardened stainless? Therefore, it seems that stainless is weaker than...- jeffbiss

Where to find torsional strength of stainless steel varients
Hello, I'm brand new to this forum and am an electrical engineer. I have tried to locate information regarding torsional strengths of the various types of stainless steel and have had no luck. When purchasing stainless steel shaft it would be nice to know what the torque limits are for each...- jeffbiss
