In shaft design, preventing plastic deformation is key. Therefore, design limits are based on yield strength—the elastic-to-plastic threshold—rather than the higher tensile strength, ensuring safety and durability.
1045 - Most popular for general-purpose shafts due to its balance of strength, machinability, and cost.
1050 - A higher carbon steel than 1045, offering increased strength and hardness, suitable for applications requiring higher wear resistance.
4140 - Excellent for high-stress shafts, offering superior strength and toughness.
4340 - Used for heavy-duty shafts in demanding applications.
8620 - Ideal for shafts requiring surface hardening (e.g., carburizing) for wear resistance.
S235JR - A structural steel used for low-stress shafts where cost is a priority.
S355J2 - Another structural steel, slightly stronger than S235JR, used for moderate-stress shafts.
304 Stainless Steel - Used for shafts in corrosive environments with moderate strength requirements.
316 Stainless Steel - Similar to 304 but with better corrosion resistance.
52100 - Used for high-wear applications like bearings or precision shafts.
7075 Aluminum - Used for lightweight shafts in low-load applications.
Ti6Al4V (Titanium Alloy) - Used in high-performance or aerospace applications where weight and corrosion resistance are critical.
17-4PH - A stainless steel used in corrosive environments with moderate strength requirements.
D2 Tool Steel - Rarely used for shafts unless extreme wear resistance is required.
