ASTM A514 Grade C steel is commonly used in:
ASTM A514 Grade C is produced through quenching and tempering processes. Available dimensions typically include:
| Thickness | Width | Length |
|---|---|---|
| 6 mm – 300 mm | 1500 mm – 4050 mm | 3000 mm – 15000 mm |
| Grade | Yield Strength (min) | Tensile Strength |
|---|---|---|
| A514 Grade C | 690 MPa (100 ksi) | 760-895 MPa (110-130 ksi) |
| A36 | 250 MPa (36 ksi) | 400-550 MPa (58-80 ksi) |
| A572 Grade 50 | 345 MPa (50 ksi) | 450 MPa (65 ksi) min |
ASTM A514 Grade C has excellent weldability and can be welded using conventional methods. However, care should be taken to maintain its high-strength properties in the heat-affected zones. Proper welding procedures and filler metals should be selected to ensure optimal performance.
While ASTM A514 Grade C has a higher initial cost compared to standard structural steels, its high strength allows for thinner sections and reduced overall weight in structures. This can lead to cost savings in material usage, transportation, and installation, particularly in large-scale projects.
