ASTM A514 

Steel Plate
ASTM A514 is most commonly used as structural steel in cranes and large heavy-load
machines. Leeco® Steel stocks ample inventory of A514.

Overview:

 Commonly used as structural steel in cranes or large heavy-load machines, A514

offers high strength with weldable, machinable properties.
 Also referred to as T-1 steel.
 Quenched and tempered for increased strength.
 Available in eight grades: B, S, H, Q, E, F, A and P.
 Available in heavy plate thicknesses (3-inches or greater).
 Suitable in lower temperatures. Charpy impact test results for specific climates
available.
