A514 vs Domex (100XF)
A514 vs Domex (100XF)
(OP)
A few old parts we continue to make from A514 which is quite expensive (.7-1.1 per pound). I recently took a call from SSAB (swedish steel) who just recently purchased IPSCO. They explained to me that Domex was a better alternative to A514 and they could get it to me for around .4 per pound cut to length.
What are the disadvantages/advantages besides price?

1. Domex is not available in as wide a range of sheet sizes and thicknesses as A514.
2. There are very few prequalified weld procedures for Domex. If you are doing any code work you will have to qualify your own weld procedures and filler metals.

Who are you primarily getting your plate from? Do you have any vendors that do plasma cutting?
Thank you for your reply and helpful information so far.
