Applications and Uses of ASTM A633 Grade E in Industry

ASTM A633 Grade E steel is commonly used in:

  1. Utility pole base plates
  2. Offshore oil and gas platforms
  3. Construction equipment frames
  4. Electric shovel dipper handles
  5. Suspension components
  6. Low-temperature applications (-50°F/-45°C and higher)

Manufacturing Process and Available Dimensions

ASTM A633 Grade E is normalized by heat treatment to achieve a fine austenitic grain size. Available dimensions include:

Thickness (mm) Width (mm) Length (mm)
8 – 150 1500 – 4020 3000 – 27000

Welding and Fabrication Considerations

ASTM A633 Grade E has excellent weldability. It is presupposed that a welding procedure suitable for the grade of steel and intended use or service will be utilized. The material exhibits good cold forming characteristics, with recommended minimum inside bend radius and die width opening provided for different bending orientations.

Comparison of Grade E with Other ASTM A633 Grades

Grade Yield Strength (min MPa) Tensile Strength (MPa)
A 290 430-570
C 345 (≤ 65 mm thickness) 485-620
D 345 (≤ 65 mm thickness) 485-620
E 415 (≤ 100 mm thickness) 550-690

Cost-Effectiveness and Performance Benefits
