A latex glove has a tensile strength between 10-20 Mpa which means they can be stretched up to 2 times their original
length without breaking. Medela nitrile gloves have an even greater tensile strength, between 14-50 Mpa. This means they
can be stretched up to 3 times their original length without breaking

Tensile strength is a measure of the amount of force required to pull a material until it breaks. Tensile strength is
important for many reasons, including safety and durability.

In general, higher tensile strength means a glove will be more durable than one with lower tensile strength; however,
other factors such as thickness can also affect durability.

This measure of a material's strength refers to its ability to resist tension, or forces pulling or stretching it apart.

Tensile measures the resistance of a material to breaking under tension.

The relationship between tensile strength and elongation in steel is often described by the tensile-strength-elongation curve, which illustrates how the
material behaves under tensile loading until failure. Here's how tensile strength and elongation are related in steel:

1. Tensile Strength: Tensile strength refers to the maximum stress that a material can withstand without undergoing plastic deformation or failure under
tension. It is usually expressed in megapascals (MPa) or pounds per square inch (psi). High tensile strength indicates that the material can withstand
greater forces before yielding or breaking.

2. Elongation: Elongation, also known as strain to failure or percent elongation, measures the amount of deformation a material undergoes before it
fractures or breaks under tensile loading. It is expressed as a percentage and represents the increase in length of the material relative to its original length
at failure. Higher elongation values indicate greater ductility or the ability of the material to deform plastically before fracture.

The relationship between tensile strength and elongation in steel can vary depending on factors such as the steel grade, composition, microstructure, and
processing conditions. In general:

 High-tensile strength steels: Steel grades with high tensile strength tend to have lower elongation values because they are designed to withstand higher
stresses before failure. These steels are often used in applications where strength is paramount, such as structural components in buildings, bridges, and
machinery.

 Low-tensile strength, high-elongation steels: Some steel grades exhibit lower tensile strength but higher elongation values, indicating greater ductility.
These steels are often used in applications where formability and toughness are more critical than ultimate strength, such as automotive panels, stampings,
and wire products.

The tensile strength-elongation curve typically shows an initial linear-elastic region where the material undergoes reversible deformation (elastic
deformation) under increasing stress. Beyond this elastic region, the material enters a plastic deformation phase, where it undergoes irreversible
deformation until eventual failure. The point at which plastic deformation begins is called the yield point, and the maximum stress reached before fracture
is the ultimate tensile strength (UTS). The elongation at failure is then measured as the percent elongation.

In summary, while there is no direct mathematical relationship between tensile strength and elongation in steel, they are related through the material's
behavior under tensile loading, with higher tensile strength often associated with lower elongation and vice versa.

High tensile steel: Features, properties and applications


What is high tensile steel?
High tensile steel is named after its key feature i.e. high strength and yield strength. Tensile strength refers to the maximum
amount of tensile (meaning pulling) stress a material can withstand without breaking. Therefore, high tensile steel is also
known as high strength steel or high-performance steel. Yield strength refers to the amount of stress steel can withstand
before permanently deforming.

Composition of high tensile steel


For achieving hardness and other desired features, high tensile steel is made with different alloying elements including iron,
carbon, manganese, chromium, nickel, and molybdenum.

How to make high tensile steel?


 All raw materials including carbon, chromium, nickel, manganese and molybdenum are combined with iron in a furnace. The
exact composition of these materials depends on the grade of steel being produced and the desired features.
 Once the raw materials are well combined, high tensile steel is shaped into desired forms such as bars, rods, sheets, coils,
etc. Various kinds of manufacturing techniques are used for shaping such as rolling, forging, etc.
 Once steel takes the desired form, it is heat treated. The heat treatment gives steel strength and hardness and high tensile
steel is produced.
 Next, high tensile steel undergoes chemical treatment for corrosion resistance. For example, galvanisation treatment.
Note: The manufacturing process depends on the grade being produced and the expected features. Therefore, the actual
process may vary in some cases.

High tensile steel: properties and features


Properties of high tensile steel offer the following features:
 High tensile: As mentioned earlier, high tensile strength is the key mechanical properties of the high strength or high tensile
steel. The tensile strength high tensile steel can be up to 2,000 N/mm2 depending on the grade. As a result, it is a preferred
material in industries where hardness and strength are key requirements.
 Yield strength: High yield strength of this type of steel allows it to withstand higher loads and stresses.
 Hardness: High tensile steel is known for its hardness. The hardness of steel contributes to the ability to resist deformation
and wear.
 Corrosion resistance: It is important to note that high tensile steel is not the best choice when it comes to corrosion
resistance. However, its corrosion resistance can be enhanced with other treatments and coatings such as galvanisation.
 Weldability: Weldability of high tensile strength steel is lower as compared to other steel types available in the market. As a
result, special techniques and procedures might have to be adopted to weld high tensile steel.

But what is high tensile steel, what


are its benefits and what are its
applications? Read on to find out.
What is high tensile steel?
The easiest way to understand what high tensile steel means, is first to learn the definition of the
word “tensile”. The term “tensile” refers to the amount of stress a material can endure before
breaking or failing. As such, high tensile steel can undergo significant stress before any damage is
done. High tensile steel will undergo a number of treatments in order to increase its durability,
malleability and ductility. It possesses additional alloying ingredients such as chromium,
molybdenum, silicon, manganese, nickel and vanadium and is treated and quenched to achieve a
new hardness, which is far stronger than other steels on the market.

The benefits of high tensile steel


Due to the lengthy process which is involved in creating high tensile steel, it is often seen as an
expensive steel product, causing many people to question whether it is truly worth the extra
expense. However, there are a number of significant benefits of high tensile steel which should be
considered. They include:
 High tensile steel produces fewer carbon emissions compared to iron-ore based steel
production.
 Low tare weight, which is especially beneficial to the transport industry as it allows better fuel
consumption.
 Resistance to atmospheric corrosion.
 Significant heat resistance

The applications of high tensile steel


High tensile steel can be an excellent choice of material for a huge range of applications. In
particular, its robustness and durability make it a suitable material for the transport,
manufacturing and construction industries. Some examples of its most common uses include:
 The design and construction of trailers and trucks
 Spring applications such as bungee cords
 Mechanical engineering applications such as engine parts, shafts and rotors
 Large scale constructions such as bridges

Few materials can compare with the strength, durability and versatility that you get from steel,
with high tensile steel being an especially high-quality product available on the market. You can
