A514

High-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) quenched and tempered alloy steel plates of structural quality in thicknesses up to 6 in. [150mm] known for its exceptional strength, durability, and weldability, making it suitable for demanding environments such as construction of bridges, and other complex structures.

Certified material. Clear documentation.

ASTM A514 is a high-strength, low-alloy structural steel plate available in several grades, including A514 Grade B, E, F, H, P, and Q. It is heat-treated to provide high yield and tensile strength while maintaining good toughness and weldability. A514 steel is commonly used in heavy-duty structures, cranes, bridges, construction equipment, pressure applications, and other demanding applications where reduced plate thickness and high structural strength are required.
