The tensile strength and yield strength of stainless steel plates are important indicators to measure their mechanical properties. Here's how to calculate these metrics:

Tensile Strength

Tensile strength refers to the maximum stress value that a material can withstand when it is subjected to tension. The calculation formula is:

σ = F/A

Among them, σ represents the tensile strength in MPa; F represents the applied force in N; A represents the cross-sectional area of the sample in m2.

For example, if a stainless steel plate is subjected to a force of 5000N and a cross-sectional area of 0.1 square meters, its tensile strength is:

σ = 5000/0.1 = 50000 MPa

Yield Strength

Yield strength refers to the minimum stress value at which a material begins to undergo plastic deformation when it is subjected to stress. The calculation formula is:

σy = F/A

Among them, σy represents the yield strength in MPa; F represents the applied force in N; A represents the cross-sectional area of the sample in m2.

For example, if a stainless steel plate is subjected to a force of 4900N and a cross-sectional area of 0.1 square meters, its yield strength is:

σy = 4900/0.1 = 49000 MPa

It should be noted that the yield strength of stainless steel is usually much lower than the tensile strength, which is due to the high plasticity of stainless steel. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to select the appropriate stainless steel plate type and service conditions according to the specific situation.
