  • 1.  Mechanical Properties of SAE 9254 Q+T Steel

    Posted 08-15-2023 10:59

    Where do I find the mechanical properties of quench and Tempered (Rockwell C 48-52) SAE 9254 Steel? Please let me know.

    Thank you very much,

    Here is a bit of information, to get you started: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317780259_EFFECT_OF_TEMPERING_TEMPERATURES_ON_MICROSTRUCTURE_AND_MECHANICAL_PROPERTIES_OF_AISI_9254_STEEL

    Thank you very much Davd. The publication covers conditions of processing (Tempering) and properties. The data is very useful in explaining tempering process to Quality Engineers and Mechanical Engineers.

    Best Regards,

    Both the ASM heat treaters' guide for irons and steels and the Republic Alloy Steels handbook have entries for 9260 material, which will be pretty close if you're just looking for basic properties like YS/UTS and elongation. Also, the composition of 9254 is practically identical to S4 tool steel in case that winds up being easier to find a reference for. If you're looking for more niche mechanical properties (maybe K1c or something), I'd try to either find literature on the subject like an academic paper, find/purchase a datasheet from a manufacturer or a reference site like MatWeb, or just buy some material off the shelf from a distributor and send it to a third party metallurgical lab to have them run whatever test you're interested in.

    Thank you Sean for the directions.

    As per your directions, I reviewed a publication uploaded by David and received exact answers. I am being only Materials Engineer in rest of the Mechanical Engineer's group, it is hard to explain a different alloy with similar properties. 

    I am going to refer to all those references which you gave me. It will be for my own knowledge if I run into similar situation going forward.

    Hi Ratnesh,

    I have downloaded from SAE sight, and it is a valuable document for me. I owned Materials Volume which does not cover specifics.

    Thank you very much,
