Quenched-and-tempered, high-yield alloy steel plate produced to the ASTM A514 specification. Engineered for structural applications that demand exceptionally high yield strength and good weldability, this plate is manufactured to fine-grain practice and is suitable for use in welded assemblies when appropriate, qualified welding procedures are followed.
Key features
- High yield strength: ASTM A514 requires minimum yield strengths of ≥100 ksi for plates up to 2-1/2" (63.5 mm) thick; plates thicker than 2-1/2" and up to 6" (152.4 mm) have minimum yield strengths typically around 90 ksi.
- Quenched and tempered for improved toughness and strength.
- Low carbon content and controlled chemistry to permit welding using suitable procedures.
- Manufactured to fine-grain practice to maximize toughness and performance in structural applications.
Typical applications
- Crane booms, lifts and heavy construction equipment
- Transport trailers and heavy-duty vehicle frames and chassis
- Agricultural machinery and mobile platforms
- Structural members in welded bridge and building components
Supply and quality
Material is supplied as flat plates in thicknesses commonly used in heavy structural and mobile equipment construction. Supplied material conforms to the requirements of ASTM A514; mill test reports and certification can be provided per purchaser requirements. For welded fabrication, adhere to qualified welding procedures and any required preheat/post-heat measures appropriate for the thickness and service conditions.
For procurement, specify ASTM A514 and the required thickness, plate dimensions, and any certification or testing requirements (e.g., impact testing, hardness limits) when requesting a quote.
