Mechanical Properties of SS400 Steel Plate at Elevated Temperatures

Abstract:

This paper presents the experimental test results on mechanical properties of steel plate grade SS400 at elevated temperatures. The steel is often used as structural steel due to its weldability and machinability. The steel plates were heated by a high frequency heating system to reach specific temperatures before being tested on a tensile testing machine. Five different temperature conditions were used, namely room temperature, 100°C, 300°C, 500°C and 600°C. The data of mechanical properties measured for SS400 steel plates at various temperature conditions were recorded and analysed. The research showed that when the temperature is increased, the force in tensile test is decreased while the strain is increased. The observation and the data were then used to setup the stress – strain – temperature relation for formability study of SS400 steel plates. The same method can be used to establish the mechanical properties at elevated temperatures.
