ASTM A53 thermal properties

[tz101]

I am attempting to define some currently used materials in our CAD database. We do not have copies of ASTM specs, and I need to know the following properties for ASTM A53 Grade A:

-Elastic modulus
-Poisson's Ratio
-Shear modulus
-Thermal conductivity
-Thermal Expansion Coefficient
-Specific Heat

Thanks.

I have already gone to matweb's site, but they seem to be lacking in ASTM specs. A search for "ASTM A53" on their site results in a long list of different metals, but non labeled "ASTM A53". Am I not using matweb's search tool correctly?

I am guessing that ASTM rigidly defends their information and would sue matweb if they published any of their material specifications online.

If someone could just post the needed fields in this thread it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.

For as "lowest common denominator" spec as A53, you should be able to plug in "carbon steel", maybe add "hot rolled".
If you buy an ASTM book you can have all their info; They are a "consus" standards written by volunteers (like me),heck! for $300/yr (??????), you can be on some committees.

Nice, but many companies are strapped for cash these days, and buying ASTM specs to set up CAD material databases is low on the priority list.

Now, maybe someone could help.

Thanks.

tz101,

While you are not getting data, you are getting good tips in this thread, which is what this site is all about. Carbon steels all have roughly the same values for your six properties. Go back to MatWeb and type in 1020 in the search box, then click the first link. Use the values listed there.

Good information. Thanks.
