Q: I’m trying to figure out what material will work for my application based on the shear strength. I see you published tensile but not shear. Do you have the shear strength for A286 and Inconel 718?
A: Unfortunately, there is no published standard value for shear strength like tensile and yield strength. Instead, for ductile materials, shear strength is typically estimated to be approximately 60% of the ultimate tensile strength.
