Download data sheet

General Product Description

ASTM A514 Grade F is a quenched and tempered alloy steel plate used in structural applications that require high yield strength combined with good formability and toughness. A514 Grade F has a minimum yield strength of 100 ksi and may be ordered with supplemental Charpy V-notch toughness test requirements.

Applications

Typical applications for A514 Grade F include transport trailers, construction equipment, crane booms, mobile aerial work platforms, agriculture equipment, heavy vehicle frames and chassis.

1) Reduction in area for 1.5 in. wide rectangular tension specimen.

2) Reduction in area for 0.5 in. round tension specimen.

3) For plates up to 0.375 in., a Brinell hardness test may be used instead of a tensile test for those plates not tensile tested in a 15 ton lot.
