WHAT IS THE SHEAR STRENGTH OF 304 STAINLESS STEEL IN TONS PER SQUARE INCH?

The shear strength of 304 stainless steel typically ranges from about 0.5 to 0.6 times its tensile strength. Since the tensile strength of 304 stainless steel is approximately 70,000 to 100,000 psi, its shear strength would be roughly between 35,000 to 60,000 psi, which translates to about 17.5 to 30 tons per square inch. Actual values can vary based on factors such as the specific alloy and processing methods used.
