Durehete Mechanical Properties — Room Temperature & Elevated Temperature (EN 10269)

EN 10269 specifies the room-temperature mechanical floor for each Durehete grade in the quenched-and-tempered condition. Annex A publishes the elevated-temperature 0.2 percent proof stress and 100,000-hour stress-rupture design data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the room-temperature tensile strength of Durehete 1055?

820 to 1000 MPa in the Q+T condition with a minimum 0.2 percent proof stress of 660 MPa. The mill targets the middle of the band by tempering temperature selection.

Does Durehete 1055 hold its strength at 565 degrees Celsius?

Yes — 0.2 percent proof stress at 565 degrees Celsius is approximately 380 MPa, and the 100,000-hour stress-rupture is approximately 200 MPa. EN 10269 Annex A publishes the design-stress envelope.

How does Durehete 1055 compare to ASTM A193 B16 mechanically?

B16 specifies higher minimum yield (724 MPa vs 660 MPa for Durehete 1055) but the elevated-temperature envelope is comparable. Dual certification is achievable on Durehete 950 (Alloy T31).

Are impact-test temperatures specified?

Charpy V-notch at +20 degrees Celsius is the EN 10269 default; -10 and -20 degree variants are available on procurement specification.
