A514 grade B steel plate A514 Gr B alloy steel sheet

A514 Grade B is a type of steel plate that falls under the ASTM A514/A514M standard specification for high-yield-strength, quenched and tempered alloy steel plate. It is primarily used in structural applications, such as construction and heavy machinery, due to its excellent combination of strength, toughness, and weldability.

A514 Grade B steel plate is characterized by its high yield strength, which refers to the minimum amount of stress that causes permanent deformation. The "Gr B" designation indicates that this grade has a specified minimum yield strength of 100 ksi (690 MPa). It also has a specified minimum tensile strength of 110-130 ksi (760-895 MPa), making it suitable for demanding applications.

The alloy composition of A514 Grade B includes elements such as carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, boron, vanadium, titanium, and copper. These elements contribute to the overall mechanical properties and performance of the steel.

A514 Gr B alloy steel sheet is widely available in various sizes and thicknesses, and it can be cut, shaped, and fabricated to meet specific project requirements. It is commonly used in construction equipment, mining machinery, cranes, trailers, and other heavy-duty applications where high strength and durability are essential.
