ASTM A414
ASTM A414 is a specification for hot-rolled carbon and high-strength, low-alloy steel sheet. It is primarily intended for pressure vessel applications and is available in several grades to meet different strength requirements. Welding and brazing practices are important considerations when fabricating material to this specification.

Property
specification
Weldability
ASTM A414 is designed for applications involving fusion welding or brazing. Because welding technique is fundamental to applications covered by this specification, fabrication procedures should account for the grade, material thickness, and requirements of the finished pressure vessel.
Defined Sizes
ASTM A414 covers hot-rolled steel sheet over 12 inches wide, with thicknesses ranging from 0.057″ through 0.229″.
Material may be available in cut lengths or coil depending on thickness and production requirements.
Ease of Fabrication
Welding and brazing technique is of fundamental importance and should follow commercial practices.
Available Customizations
Notes from the Technical Group
- ASTM A414 is intended for pressure vessel applications where the material will be joined through welding or brazing.
