Details about ASTM A514/A514M Grade S Carbon and Low-alloy High-strength Steel Coil

Chemical Composition and Mechanical Properties of ASTM A514 Grade S Steel

ASTM A514 Grade S is a high-strength, quenched and tempered alloy steel with the following properties:

Property Value
Yield Strength (min) 690 MPa (100 ksi)
Tensile Strength 760-895 MPa (110-130 ksi)
Elongation in 2″ (min) 16-18%
Carbon Content 0.11-0.21%
Manganese Content 1.1-1.5%
Silicon Content 0.15-0.45%

Applications and Uses in Heavy Equipment and Construction

ASTM A514 Grade S steel is commonly used in:

  1. Welded bridges and structures
  2. Construction and mining equipment
  3. Hauling and lifting devices
  4. Bucket components
  5. High impact, abrasion-resistant applications

Manufacturing Process and Available Dimensions

ASTM A514 Grade S is produced through quenching and tempering processes. Available dimensions include:

Thickness (in/mm) Width (in/mm) Length (in/mm)
0.188 – 2.00 72 – 120 240 – 600
4.78 – 50.8 1800 – 3050 6100 – 15200

Welding and Fabrication Considerations

ASTM A514 Grade S has good weldability but requires careful attention to welding procedures. Proper preheat and interpass temperatures should be maintained to prevent cracking.

Comparison of Grade S with Other A514 Grades

Grade S offers similar yield and tensile strengths to other A514 grades, but has a slightly different chemical composition, particularly in manganese content.

Cost-Effectiveness and Performance Benefits

While ASTM A514 Grade S has a higher initial cost, its high strength allows for thinner sections and reduced overall weight in structures, potentially leading to cost savings in material usage, transportation, and installation.
