I am looking for a www site that has a table which lists the strength of angle, box and channel? Any help appreciated.
Reply:Don't know of any websites. Lincoln Electric published a book called "Design of Weldments" that has has an entire chapter on properties of sections (e.g., moment of inertia). I used my brother's copy to load analyze a piece of SS pipe for use as a trailer axle. They may still publish it (look under training or publications on their website) or you can check Amazon.com for used version or check with local library.TeddCoHTP Microcut 400 & Invertig 160DC Smith Dual Guard MD-510 OA Rig Lincoln SP135+ Hobart Stickmate LX 235/160
Reply:There are several books from lincoln (https://ssl.lincolnelectric.com/foun...p?PID=16&cat=8) including desing of weldmentsBest general sources are Machnery's handbook and a good steel table from a supplier (such as http://www.russelmetals.com/english/...cts/index.html and http://www.alliedtube.com/pdf/section.pdf). You can also look at the steel tube institute literature for lots of canned data for standard applications (http://www.steeltubeinstitute.org/hss_literature.htm)Your question is, unfortunately, not specific enough to answer better. Strength depends on a lot of things, such as dimensions, how the piece is loaded (cantilever beam, uniformly loaded end supported beam, column in compression, tension, etc), as well as the material and the treatments applied to the material (cold work, tempering, etc) and the needed safety factor.
Reply:enlpck & TeddcoThanks for the reply. Yes, my question was fairly broad I should have provided more detail. I am building a small 10ft utility trailer and I wanted to compare the strength between angle, tube and channel. I believe either of the materials will suffice for the loads. The trailer is mainly for hauling riding mower, ATV and an engine driven welder...not all at the same time. I seen a table once, but can't recall where. I'll checked your suggested sources. Thanks again |
