Yeild Strength Differences
in [SolidWorks]
|
From: remy martin on 3 Feb 2006 13:32 In Solidworks (materials), the yeild strength for 6061-T6 is approx 8,000psi. On MatWeb, it's listed as 40,000psi. Why the discrepancy?
From: Brian on 3 Feb 2006 13:47 Actually SW is not specifying the material condition of the alloy. 8ksi would be appropriate for "O" condition 6061, which is only commonly used in sheet metal. Your 40ksi figure is much better for 6061-T6. -- Brian Hokanson Starting Line Products "remy martin" <rm(a)nospam.com> wrote in message news:7lNEf.1035$UF1.879(a)newsread3.news.pas.earthlink.net... > In Solidworks (materials), the yeild strength for 6061-T6 is approx > 8,000psi.

From: That70sTick on 3 Feb 2006 13:51 Because no one at SW has any vested interest in your design. Neither does anyone at MatWeb. Wise move, cross-checking this info. Time for 3rd (and 4th & 5th?) opinion.
From: remy martin on 3 Feb 2006 14:29 Alcoa's numbers are close to MatWeb. Still somewhat baffled as to why SW's value is so low. http://www.alcoa.com/gcfp/catalog/pdf/alcoa_alloy_6061.pdf#search='alloy%206061' http://www.alcoa.com/adip/catalog/pdf/Extruded_Alloy_6061.pdf#search='alloy%206061'
