Quenched and Tempered Steel Plate is the combination two processes that make it harder, tough and more weldable and ductile than ordinary carbon steel plate, as they are less brittle and more ductile without sacrificing too much hardness. The process involves heating the plate and then rapidly cooling it to set the components into place as quickly as possible. the combination two processes that make it harder, tough and more weldable and ductile than ordinary carbon steel plate.

The amount of time it is tempered is the determining factor to how much hardness is removed. A514 Steel Plate is a popular quenched and tempered grade that offers high strength, weldability and machinability, because of these properties it is typically used in applications where wear resistance and the ability to withstand high impact are important. It is available in eight grades, i.e. Gr A, Gr B, Gr E, Gr F, Gr H, Gr P, Gr Q, and Gr S.

It is heat-treated through quenching and tempering, a two-step heat treatment process that alters the grain structure of the material to increase strength, hardness and toughness. ASTM A710 Carbon Steel Plate is high-yield steel grade plate that goes through age hardening to increase its yield and tensile strength. A514 Steel Plate are also known as A514 T1 Steel Plate. Their applications include the manufacturing of construction equipment, jack-up rigs, truck frames, rail cars, piping components and shipbuilding.
