Mechanical properties of a hot rolled stainless steel sheet

This research investigated the difference between the mechanical properties of TIS 1999-2543 hot rolled stainless steel in rolled and transverse directions. Testing specimens were prepared according to ASTM E8 standard. Mechanical properties under consideration included elastic modulus, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation at the break. All mechanical properties, with the exception of the elongation at the break, presented statistically significant difference at p-value less than 0.05, having greater values in rolled direction.
