Current Price Ranges for ASTM A514 Grade Q

Based on market data from mid-2025, A514 Grade Q prices are influenced by global supply chains, with export prices from suppliers like those in India at $845-$865 per ton. In North America, costs are elevated due to 25% import tariffs implemented in March 2025, pushing domestic or tariff-affected prices higher.

Factors Affecting ASTM A514 Grade Q Prices

Prices are driven by several elements as of October 2025:

  • Tariffs and Regulations: 25% import tariffs since March 2025 increase costs for non-domestic steel in North America.
  • Demand from Legislation: Acts like IRA and IIJA boost infrastructure spending, raising demand and prices.
  • Raw Materials and Processing: Alloy additions and Q&T treatment add to costs.
  • Order Quantity and Location: Bulk orders lower per-ton costs; transportation adds expense for heavy plates.
  • Market Trends: Softening index (down 8.2% in May 2025) but stable overall due to demand.

Gangsteel mitigates these with direct export pricing.
