Converting Material to Designate a Material from the SOLIDWORKS Library

Simulation Generality
1

Hello
I have just selected a ring to make a guide column on a press.
I will arrange my two columns to start by respecting a condition of no buttresse, then I will proceed with my simulation, but this is where I have a doubt about my decoding of the designation of the subject of the technical doc.

In summary, 700 HV 0.2 indicates a high surface hardness for a steel material, measured at a penetration depth of 0.2 mm

To calculate the elastic strength (Re) from the Vickers hardness (HV), I use the following formula:

Re = 0.36 x HV

Thus, for a Vickers hardness of 700 HV, the elastic strength would be approximately:

Re = 0.36 x 700 = 252 MPa

And we place ourselves on the tensile strength
To convert 700 HV 0.2 to tensile strength, I use the following formula:

Tensile strength (N/mm²) = (HV * 0.0142)²

By applying this formula, we obtain:

Tensile strength (N/mm²) = (700 * 0.0142)² = 1384 N/mm²

How do you combine these two mechanical characteristics of this material in the SOLIDWORKS material base?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Spectrum.

Hello

Be careful because the treatment is only a surface treatment: the part will surely have these characteristics on some 1/10 of a mm (or even less).
You would have to have an idea of the mechanical values at heart if you want to make finite element calculations on it (so ask the manufacturer for information...).
Otherwise you have the boxes in the material properties:

Rm for the first and Rp0.2 (or Rp1.0) for the second.

Hello froussel,

Thank you, I will inquire with the manufacturer.
