In this post I'll talk about and give details about ASTM A582. First let's describe it and then have a look at its material's properties.
Ok let's start with ASTM A582 chemical composition.
Learn more about chemical composition.
Now it's the mechanical properties turn:
Learn more about what is hardness.
Learn more about density.
Learn more about the Elastic Modulus.
Learn more about the poisson ratio.
Learn more about the what is allowable stress.
What is ASTM A582?
ASTM A582 is a Specification for Free-Machining Stainless Steel BarsCategory
Steel BarsScope
This specification covers hot-finished or cold-finished bars, except bars for forging. It includes rounds, squares, and hexagons in the more commonly used types of stainless free-machining steels designed especially for optimum machinability and for general corrosion and high temperature service. Stainless steel bars other than the free-machining types are covered in a separate specification.Ok let's start with ASTM A582 chemical composition.

Now it's the mechanical properties turn:
Hardness Requirements
Grade 416 T
248 - 302 HBLearn more about what is hardness.
Density
7480 - 8000 kg/m3 (around 7.9 g/cm3 or 0.285 lb/in3).Learn more about density.
Elastic Modulus
180 GPa (26107 ksi) - 210GPa (30458 ksi).Learn more about the Elastic Modulus.
Poisson's Ratio
Usually around 0.26 – 0.31.Learn more about the poisson ratio.
Allowable Stress
Depends on the project (And its factor of safety).Learn more about the what is allowable stress.

I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and ASTM A582 currently ranks 161 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 160 materials that are more resistant.
Note: I've analysed 134 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my astm material's comparison post for more details.

My Material's Rank
While engineers will often look for the cheapest material they can use, I took a different approach to material's selection to help newbie students.I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and ASTM A582 currently ranks 161 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 160 materials that are more resistant.
Note: I've analysed 134 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my astm material's comparison post for more details.
