Tensile Strength of Wire-Woven SUS 304 Austenitic Stainless Steel

Abstract

In this paper, a series of tensile testing on wire drawing SUS 304 were conducted in order to meet the required specifications, thus, it can be utilized on the aircraft fighter components to remain stable and avoid shaking or vibration when the engine is operated. The studied material is expected to be used on flank airframes to improve its strength, wear resistance, corrosion, and aesthetic appearance. Series of tensile test has been conducted with universal testing machine (1 tonne) with modified jig configuration according to ASTM E8. The specimens were made according to the manufacture requirements such as wavy pin and straight pin connecting rod. The wire diameter has been drawing into the final diameter, which is Φ8.0 mm. From the tensile tests, yielding 1165.8 MPa and 1588.1 MPa, respectively. It is observed that the strength of woven SUS 304 wire drawing has reached the required specification to be manufactured in aircraft fastener. Factor of safety up to 2.0 has been acquired to the studied woven SUS 304 wire drawing.
