Stainless steel bolts cut resistance

[mpafer]

Hello people!

Can somebody help-me to find a comparsion table with "cut" resistance between steel and stainless steel bolts?

I´m studing a fix solution and would like to check these information to take the right decision,

Thanks in advance

I believe you mean "shear" instead of "cut". The ultimate shear strength can be estimated from the ultimate tensile strength by using the following relation: ? ~ 0.6 · ?_UTS. Most stainless steel bolts are relatively low strength, but some companies like Bufab Stainless offer high strength stainless steel bolts. Use the following links for more information:

The greek characters did not appear correctly in my previous post. Ultimate shear strength is ~ 0.6*UTS where UTS is ultimate tensile strength.
