Young's modulus - change with temp variations?

I am trying to conduct a simple FEA on a Stainless component that will experience temperatures in excess of 650 degrees C.

Problem:
I would like to change the material properties of the Steel i am using to establish the maximum deflection under load.


While my FEA package (ALGOR) will allow for temperature input, i find that achieving a uniform temperature in the model creates a large unworkable mesh.

I am innexperienced with Algor, but have used material property changes with other packages to good effect.

Is there a reference for changes in E or G for Stainless 316/321/304? The usual sources reveal nowt.

Hi,

Yes there is a change on the properties of the materials under temperature variations.

For your temperature the value of Modulus of elasticity is about 60% of the original.

The behavior is not linear

For the allowable stresses there is a change too, and for 650C is about 25% of the original

For more onformation try to get a book of materials engineer
 
Thanks for that ajose.

It would be good to have a look at a curve - do you have a good reference with a graph of the non linear properties?


Strangely the majority of books i have sourced on Steel properties do not provide much on teh changes in Young's Modulus.

I'm far from my place (references) so i perform a search on key words "young modulus temperature"
I found:

+ There some interesting programs
If you are gonig to use frecuently this could be an answerr


+ There is some forum in here called:
>------------>Ansys, young,s modulus in function of the temperature
Where you can find some data

>------------>Help¡¡¡¡ young,s modulus in function of the temperature
Where gunnarhole wrote:
The TEMA Handbook include a table (D-10) which lists Young's Modulus for a variety of material over a wide range of temperatures. For example for plain C-Mn steels:

T, F E, lbf/in^2
100 29,000,000
200 28.5
300 28
400 27.4
500 27
600 26.4
700 25.3
800 23.9
900 22.2
1000 20.1

Try the best for your job.
 
Hello, in relation to the change in the Young's modulus, would the posson's ratio also change with temperature??? Thanks.
 
I'm looking for a Sigma/Epsilon-Diagram (Tension) for steel and how it varies on different temperatures.
I need it for an FE-analysis in ABAQUS

Where can I get this?
 
JourneymanEng, if you will post a fax number, I will fax to you a copy of a table with the properties of E for stainless steel from -425 F to 1500 F.
 
my fax number for sending the requested information is +43/7748 6586 26
