ASTM A514 Gr.E/ A514 Grade E alloy structure steel plates is under same technical standard ASTM A514/ A514M with A514 grade A, B, C, E, F, H, J, K, M, P, Q, S, and T. Those grades have same mechanical properties but different chemistry requirements. Among the ASTM A514 steel grades, A514 Grade E alloy structure steel plates are rather widely used.
The main application aspects of ASTM A514 Gr.E/ A514 Grade E alloy structure steel plates cover crane booms, heavy vehicle frames and chassis, transport trailers, mobile man-lifts, construction equipment, agricultural equipment, and welded bridge structural members., etc.
ASTM A514 Gr.E/ A514 Grade E alloy structure steel plates are usually quenched and tempered to conform to the tensile and hardness requirements by heating to not less than 900 degree and quenching in water or oil, tempering at not less than 620 degree. The max thickness of A514 Grade E alloy structure steel plate is 150mm according to technical standard ASTM A514/ A514M.
