what you're discussing is the difference between plastic deformation (what you see by the red line) and elastic deformation (what happens when you load the hook and it comes back to the red line when you unload it). Elastic deformation shortly leads to rupture (well kinda shortly) but if you unload before rupture, the steel returns back down the load/deformation path to zero load. The next time you load the steel, it travels back up the same curve, which is offset a bit to the deformation direction, meaning you get to elastic deformation more quickly. If you stay within the elastic limit of the steel, theoretically, you can load/unload all you want. If you travel into the plastic deformation zone, your cycles of load and unload remain the same, but the magnitude of yield reduces and the load difference between yielding and rupture reduces. However, if you only to the plastic loading once, the hook should be ok for continued use, depending on how far you travel into the plastic zone. Steel attachments are usually rated at 20% to 25% of their rupture strength, you hook was rated at 10000 lbs meaning it's rupture strength should be 40000 to 50000 lbs, you made it to 30000 lbs, meaning you were coming up against the rupture strength of the hook, meaning your cycles in this zone next time are significantly reduced. (this, by the way, is strain hardening of the steel). Knowing what you know, throw the hook away and get another one. the $150 for the hook is far cheaper than the litigation involved in dropping an important pick or hurting someone. BTW, dont throw the hook away. Cut it in half.

Just a little past yield strengt, so it probably takes 40k pounds or more, to completely bend or break it. And since it's steel, it usually bends a lot before failing eventually.
@OZLiftingProducts15 күн бұрын
Thank you for your comment! You're absolutely right that steel generally bends before failing, and its ultimate strength depends on several factors. For example, a hook rated for 5 tons won't necessarily break at 10, 15, or even 20 tons-it depends on variables like the fatigue life of the hook at its rated load, how many load-unload cycles it's undergone, and its factor of safety against fatigue failure. Many hooks are designed with a factor of safety-say, 3 times the rated load over 10,000 cycles. Statically, the hook might hold 13 tons before yielding and could break at 18 tons, depending on the grade of steel and heat treatment. This illustrates why it's critical to adhere to the working load limits and inspect hooks regularly for wear or damage. Consistent use within rated limits ensures safety and prolongs service life. Let us know if you’d like more technical insights-we’re always happy to discuss!

A hook may be rated for 5 tons, but that doesn't mean it will break at 10, 15, or even 20 tons.

Statically, it may be able to hold 13 tons before yielding, and it might break at 18 tons. It all depends on the grade of steel and heat treatment.

Then theres a plethora of other stipulations that could also require the monthly inspections like temperature and environment.

Honestly, I don't see a problem using that hook for a load its rated for, even after the deformation. Yes, it has been deformed, but not in a manner which I feel would cause a dramatic fail. It has been stressed into the plastic deformation range. I see no cracks or other indication of an impending dramatic fail. IT that slight deformation is a significant compromise of the hook, I'd expect the manufacturer to put marks on the hook, to make it obvious a deformation has occured, i.e. a series of parallel lines so deformation is blatantly obvious to anyone looking.

I have just learnt something that I previously had no idea could happen. I truly thought these hooks were good forever. Would that be true if never used to the full rated limit, or will the hook simply develop long term stressing even under the max limit?? One question that does come to mind, why don't the hook manufacturers create a small grove where the latch meets and paint it a bright or contrasting colour??? Do they even do that in 2021?? Second question. Is there actually a design factor in the hook that allows for a percentage of stretch as part of the normal operation??? Does the MFD conduct a pre-stress to set the final end use???

They should add sensors in the hooks that detect how much weight is on the hook. If its over the amount rated for that specific hook, the sensor would send a message to the lift or whatever machine the hook is for, and not allow it to be lifted until the stuff you are trying to lift is within the limit of the hook

Because of that bend, every load will rest closer to the tip of the hook by *that much*. If you suppose there is no mechanical stress (and there is at least some), then the *thinner* part of that hook ought to be more inclined to bend to pressure than the hook's original rating. We're blind to what the hook can handle now. I fantasize I'd take a big risk: paint it florescent, put it in its own pile and label it good for half it's old capacity. I can't be sure of that but I see that as safer than treating the hook like the others. But don't take my bad advice.

That completely ignores the other equally foreign languages. You’re ignoring the fact that, while only used in America and not easily convertible, imperial is still a completely normal system of measurement. What this guy has is experience. THATS why he’s an expert on the matter. Using metric doesn’t signify intelligence OR experience and implying that anybody that doesn’t use it while having either of those is weird only makes you a metric elitist. Perhaps you don’t realize that’s what you are, and it may not be a sin nor a crime. However, being secretly and weirdly snobby about a unit of measurement is an incredibly unattractive trait to have.

One hook is the same as the other. If one was overloaded, then the other will have been. The correct way to check it is to measure the gap in the opening of the hook and check it to spec. If it is greater than the maximum allowable opening, then it was taken past its yield point. It's according to how much it was overloaded, to whether it may have stretched or not, as all hooks will hold more than their rated load, as they have a safety factor to them. That's why the one in the video took 3 times the rated maximum load to stretch it.
