ASTM A514 Structural Steel Plate Prices in North America

ASTM A514 Structural Steel Plate Prices in North America

ASTM A514 is a high-yield-strength, quenched and tempered alloy steel plate used in structural applications, such as bridges, construction equipment, and heavy machinery, where superior strength and durability are required. Prices in North America as of October 2025 are influenced by factors like grade, thickness, order quantity, market demand, and tariffs on imports.

General steel plate prices hover around $1,008 per ton, but A514, as a premium high-strength grade, is higher due to its specialized production. As a leading manufacturer and exporter, Gangsteel offers competitive pricing for ASTM A514/A514M steel plate, with quotes tailored to specific grades like astm a514 grade b and astm a514 grade q.

Current Price Ranges for ASTM A514 Plates

Based on market data from North American suppliers and indices as of mid-2025, ASTM A514 plate prices typically range from $990 to $1,120 per ton in the USA, depending on grade and specifications. This is higher than standard carbon steel plates (around $800-$1,008 per ton) due to A514's quenched and tempered (Q&T) process and alloy content. Prices are often quoted in hundredweight (CWT), where $40 CWT equals $800 per ton for standard grades, but A514 can exceed $50 CWT ($1,000 per ton) or more.

The CRU North American steel plate price index for A514 was 144.5 points in May 2025, down 8.2% month-on-month, indicating a softening market. However, the index is a relative measure and not directly convertible to $/ton without additional CRU data; it reflects trends similar to general plate prices around $1,000/ton. For October 2025, related indices like US Midwest HRC are at $804/ton, suggesting plate prices remain stable but elevated for high-strength grades.

Price Examples by Grade and Supplier

Factors Affecting ASTM A514 Prices

Several elements influence pricing in North America:

• Grade and Thickness: Higher grades (e.g., astm a514 grade q) and thicker plates cost more due to weight and processing.
• Order Quantity: Bulk orders (>22 tons) reduce per-ton costs.
• Tariffs and Origin: 25% tariff on imports since March 2025 increases domestic prices.
• Market Trends: Demand from infrastructure acts (IIJA, IRA) and supply chain issues keep prices elevated; CRU index down in May but stable in October.
• Raw Materials and Processing: Rising costs for alloys and Q&T treatment add to prices.

Gangsteel's competitive export pricing can offer savings for North American buyers; inquire for bulk deals.
