Carbon Steel Plate - A514 Grade B
Description
This structural quenched and tempered plate is for general use where higher strength permits reduction in gross design weight. Offers exceptional strength, toughness, impact-abrasion resistance and long-term economy.
 
Typical Application
For general structural uses where its great strength permits reduction in weight by use of smaller cross-sectional area. Applications include: earthmoving equipment, building and bridge construction, truck frames and bodies, storage tanks, missile transporters and launchers, oil field rigs, machinery transporters, booms (lattice-type and telescopic), drilling barges, bulk cargo container frames, and many others.
 
Size Range Available
1/4" through 1-1/4"
