A514 Grade P steel is a high strength low alloy steel. A514 Grade P steel, also known as T-1 steel, is specified by the American Institute of Standards for Materials (ASTM).
Unlike other A514 Grade steels, A514 Grade P has enhanced corrosion resistance. A514 Grade P steel is used in a wide range of applications including aerospace, construction, mining and heavy machinery. It should be noted that A514 Grade P steel requires heat treatment to achieve the required hardness and strength, and corresponding safety measures need to be taken during processing.
A514 Grade P steel has the following good properties:
High strength: The yield strength of A514 Grade P steel is above 690 MPa (100 ksi), which is much higher than some low alloy steels and ordinary carbon steels.
Good toughness: Although A514 Grade P steel is very hard, it still has good toughness and can be used at low temperatures.
Wear resistance: A514 Grade P steel has high surface hardness and good wear resistance and corrosion resistance. It is suitable for working environments that need to withstand high stress, wear and corrosion.
Easy to weld: A514 Grade P steel can be used in various welding methods such as manual arc welding and gas shielded welding. At the same time, appropriate processing methods and process controls need to be adopted during processing to avoid affecting its performance.
Good machinability: A514 Grade P steel is suitable for cutting, cold forming, drilling and other processing methods, making A514 Grade P steel more suitable for various industrial applications.
