I am looking for Young's Modulus and coefficient of thermal expansion data for a number of fasteners, for example, MS24677/NAS1352. The spec sheets for these specify minimum tensile strength (psi) and also the specific strength of each bolt per size (lbs). However, under material it simply states "ALLOY STEEL IN ACCORDANCE WITH PROCUREMENT SPECIFICATIONS" OR "ALLOY STEEL IN ACCORDANCE WITH PROCUREMENT SPEC FF.S-86." I looked into FF.S-86 and there wasn't any more information. Looking online at suppliers of these bolts they simply state: Steel overall. Am I missing something? Can I assume any alloy? If so, which do you guys reckon would be appropriate? I'm looking into this for analysis of joint preload (incorporating thermal properties of the bolt and joint members). Any advice on how to proceed? Does 'steel overall' refer to some universally accepted generic bolt steel? Any info would be great!
