ASTM A514 High Strength Plates – T-1 Steel Plates for Structural & Heavy-Duty Use

ASTM A514 High Strength Plates (also known as T-1 steel) are premium-grade quenched and tempered alloy steels known for their exceptional yield strength (≥100 ksi), high toughness, and superior weldability. These plates are extensively used in structural components, crane booms, mining equipment, heavy trailers, and offshore platforms.

As a trusted supplier and stockist, Hindustan Steel Corporation provides original A514 Grade B / E / F / H / M steel plates—with global supply, cut-to-size profiles, and full MTC traceability.

What is ASTM A514 / T-1 Steel?

ASTM A514 is a high-strength, low-alloy steel plate produced through controlled quenching and tempering, delivering 100 ksi yield strength with a minimum tensile strength of 110 ksi. It is available in multiple grades such as A514 Grade B, E, F, H, M, and each is suited for different thicknesses and mechanical profiles.

Key Highlights:

  • High strength-to-weight ratio
  • Consistent machinability
  • Excellent formability and weldability
  • Shock and impact resistance under heavy loads

Applications of ASTM A514 High Strength Plates

Engineered for extreme load-bearing and weight-sensitive structures, A514 plates are widely used in:

  1. Crane booms & lifting arms
  2. Mining equipment (chutes, hoppers)
  3. Bucket components & dump bodies
  4. Offshore oil & gas structures
  5. Structural bridges & towers
  6. Trailer frames and heavy transport
  7. Wind turbine base plates

ASTM A514 Plate FAQs – What Buyers Ask

It depends on thickness and grade. Below 38mm, it is generally weldable with low-hydrogen electrodes and without major preheat. Thicker sections may require preheat.

A514 Grade F or Grade B are most commonly used for crane booms, offering a balance of strength and ductility.

Technically, both have similar yield strengths (~690 MPa), but A514 has a different chemistry and higher tensile strength. They are functionally comparable for many applications.

Yes. All plates come with EN 10204 3.1 or optional 3.2 certificate for offshore and government projects.
