A514 steel
A514 is a particular type of high strength
This is a standard set by the standards organization ASTM International, a voluntary standards development organization that sets technical standards for materials, products, systems, and services.
Specifications
A514
The
A517
A517 steel has equal tensile yield strength, but slightly higher specified ultimate strength of 115–135 ksi (793–931 MPa) for thicknesses up to 2.5 inches (63.5 mm) and 105–135 ksi (724–931 MPa) for thicknesses 2.5 to 6.0 inches (63.5 to 152.4 mm).
Usage
A514 steels are used where a weldable, machinable, very high strength steel is required to save weight or meet ultimate strength requirements. It is normally used as a structural steel in building construction, cranes, or other large machines supporting high loads.
In addition, A514 steels are specified by military standards (ETL 18-11) for use as small-arms firing range baffles and deflector plates.[3]
