ASTM A514/A514M A514 Grade M Introduce
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is a not-for-profit organization that was founded in 1898 for the development and publication of voluntary consensus standards in materials, products, systems, and services. ASTM has developed over 12,000 standards over the years, including the ASTM A514/A514M A514 Grade M steel standard in 1987. The ASTM A514/A514M steel standard specification used to evaluate the hardenability, mechanical properties, chemical composition, and weldability of heat-treated steel alloys.
Smelting temperature:1799°C - 1515°C
Application:High yield strength alloy steel plate for tempering and quenching for welding
ASTM A514/A514M A514 Grade M Material Mechanical Properties
ASTM A514/A514M A514 Grade M steel is commonly used in engineering applications where weight reduction with improved strength is desirable. The exceptional weldability of A514 steel enables it to be used in structural components and, due to its excellent fatigue properties, it is also suitable for applications where high-frequency vibrations are encountered. ASTM A514/A514M A514 Grade M steel has also been found to be suitable for challenging applications such as pressure vessels, storage tanks, and ships.
