Zinc-plated steel?

Hello everyone,

 

I need your advice on a material designation.

 

I can't find (in Solidworks) the right material for this component (flange):

It's Galvanized Steel

 

Do you have an idea?

 

Thank you and see you soon, have a good day.

Hello

A37 is the old standard, it's E24 in the new standard.

 

Features

Breaking strength: 415 MPa
Yield Strength: 205 MPa
Young's modulus: 205 GPa
Shear modulus: 80 GPa
Coeff. Fish: 0.28

There you go, I hope that answers your question

Hello

 

I believe that this material does not exist by default in SolidWorks, so it must be created (if used often), or piecemeal, either modify the property in the 3D (File > properties > custom properties > Material or material) and write E24 in the zinc-plated form, or by modifying the cartridge directly by right-clicking edit the basemap in the 2D, and by modifying the text (we lose the "material" link with the 3D, therefore less practical).

And to create a material, you have to go to "edit the material" by filling it in according to the information given by Yves.

Hello and thank you for your answer,

 

I use E24 to designate S235 steel.

 

How can I tell that this steel is zinc plated?

 

Thank you!

Answer at the same time with you l.prior.

 

So I'm going to create a copy of the E24 and add zinc next to it

 

Thank you;)

Please designate the best answer!

I don't know yet! 

 

My colleague tells me that the galvanized steel is not S235?

Right, but the S235 is not E24...

To confirm my words (I shouldn't be taken at my word, and even less should I be told)

The composition of the E24

http://www.rocdacier.com/indexaciers.php?id=320

 

And here, the one of the S235

http://www.rocdacier.com/indexaciers.php?id=436

 

There is a big difference, especially the content of Nickel, 12.5% in the first, 0 in the second. Chromium, 23% in the first, 0 in the second...

 

Well, be careful, the S235 was formerly E24-2 (I know, we get lost with these changes in standards)

It is therefore an error of meter (and therefore currently, since the standards change it might as well specify it) in a nomenclature:

 

MATERIAL: S235 JR (E-24)?

 

The S235 JR is actually E24-2!

 

And on this one: http://le-chaudronnier.pagesperso-orange.fr/le%E7ons%20de%20technologie/les%20mat%E9riaux/l'%20acier1.pdf

 

And the S235 > E24

 

I'm starting to have knots in my head with these materials.

 

 

In fact, do you know what you want to appear on your cartridge?

 

I think that "A37 ZINGUÉ BICHROMATE" is understandable by everyone, even if it is an old standard!

 

So the methods I indicated work to make this appear in the block!

Hello

 

To answer your question how to make it appear in the title block automatically:

 

You have to make a copy of the closest material in the list in "edit materials" and paste it into custom materials. Once you've pasted it you can edit almost  everything, you click on save and your material and create for good.

In addition, you can also put it in your favorites to have access more quickly: to do this you just go to the favorites tab and you click on "add" and when you are on your parts you will just have to right click on "material" and it will be displayed.

 

So much so, let's hope that this is clear.

Hello 
On the subject of steels, I have work to do for my studies. I chose the theme of the vibrating bowl. Not being an expert, could you explain to me the difference between 304L and 316L stainless steel. Indeed, I understand that the companies that manufacture this type of system offer these two alternatives depending on the sector of activity. 
Thank you very much:)
