ASTM A514 GR F Quenched and Tempered Steel Plate supplier

ASTM A514 GR F Quenched and Tempered Steel Plate

If you're looking for a strong steel plate that handles heavy loads and tough conditions, ASTM A514 GR F quenched and tempered steel plate is a great pick. This type of steel is made for jobs where you need high strength and good resistance to cracks, even in cold weather. It's used in things like cranes and mining equipment.

At Gangsteel, we make and export high-quality ASTM A514 GR F plates. We use a special process: heat the steel hot, cool it fast (quench), then heat it again gently (temper). This makes the steel hard but not brittle. Our plates meet global standards and are tested to ensure they work well for your projects.

What is ASTM A514 GR F Steel Plate?

ASTM A514 GR F is a type of alloy steel plate that's quenched and tempered. This means it's treated to be very strong while still easy to weld and shape.

It's part of the A514 family, with added elements like nickel and copper for better toughness in cold temps. Our Gangsteel plates come in thicknesses up to 6 inches. They fit well in designs for heavy machines or structures that face a lot of stress.

ASTM A514 GR F Specification

The ASTM A514 standard covers high-strength steel plates for welding in buildings or bridges. For Grade F, it focuses on plates up to 6 inches thick. The strength changes a bit with thickness to keep it tough.

At Gangsteel, our plates follow ASTM A514/A514M rules exactly. This includes heat treatment and tests. We can add extra checks like impact testing if you need them.

Chemical Composition

The mix of elements in ASTM A514 GR F makes it strong and tough. We check it during melting (ladle analysis) and on the finished plate (product analysis). Small changes are allowed per ASTM rules.

Here's the table:

This mix helps the steel resist wear and cold cracks.

Mechanical Properties

ASTM A514 GR F has great strength for heavy jobs. It includes yield strength (how much it can bend before staying bent), tensile strength (how much pull it can take), elongation (how much it stretches), hardness (how tough the surface is), and impact toughness (how it handles hits in cold weather, measured by Charpy test).

Our Gangsteel plates are good for cold places, with impact values at least 20 ft-lb at -50°F or lower if needed.

These numbers make it reliable for tough uses.

Applications of A514 Grade F Steel Plate

Gangsteel's ASTM A514 GR F plate works well in places needing strength and cold resistance. It's used in crane booms and lifts, where it carries heavy weights without breaking.

In mining, it makes truck bodies and loaders that deal with rocks and cold weather. It's also in bridges, farm machines, and oil rigs. We've sent GR F plates around the world for these jobs.

Equivalent Grades for ASTM A514 Grade F

ASTM A514 Grade F matches other steels in strength and cold toughness. We list only direct equals, with similar mix and properties (yield about 690 MPa, tensile 760-895 MPa).
