EN 10025-2 S690QL PLATES Features

• » Extreme Yield Strength: Provides a minimum yield strength of 690 MPa, allowing for the design of structures that are significantly lighter yet stronger than those made with conventional structural steels.
• » Quenched and Tempered (Q+T): The rigorous heat treatment process ensures a superior combination of high hardness, tensile strength, and excellent ductility.
• » Low Temperature Toughness: The "L" designation confirms excellent impact resistance and toughness at temperatures as low as -40°C, making it safe for use in harsh, cold-weather environments.
• » Enhanced Weight Savings: High strength-to-weight ratio enables the reduction of plate thickness in heavy machinery, leading to increased payload capacity and reduced fuel consumption in mobile equipment.
• » Excellent Weldability: Despite its high strength, the low carbon equivalent (CEV) ensures that the steel can be welded efficiently using standard methods like SMAW, GMAW, and SAW.
• » Fine-Grain Microstructure: The fine-grain practice used during manufacturing provides consistent mechanical properties and superior resistance to brittle fracture.
• » Good Cold Forming Properties: Allows for precision bending and folding during fabrication, provided the correct bend radii and processing parameters are followed.
• » High Wear Resistance: The refined metallurgical structure offers improved resistance against mechanical wear and abrasion compared to standard structural grades.
