ASTM A709/A709M Grade 50W Type A Material Mechanical Properties
Elasticity is a measure of an object's ability to return to its original shape after being subjected to a load. ASTM A709/A709M Grade 50W Type A steel is highly elastic, with an elastic modulus ranging from 190GPa to 300GPa. This allows the steel to be compressed or twisted without permanently deforming, allowing it to return to its original shape when the load is removed.
The mechanical properties of the ASTM A709/A709M Grade 50W Type A steel are as follows:
| YieldRp0.2 | ≤ 158 (MPa) |
| TeileRm | ≤ 143 (MPa) |
| ImpactKV/Ku | 14(J) |
| ElongationA | 12% |
| Reduction in cross section on fractureZ | 24% |
| As-Heat-Treated Condition | Solution and Aging, Annealing, Ausaging, Q+T,etc |
| Brinell hardness (HBW) | 443 |
