Key Similarities:

Strength: Both have a minimum yield strength of 890 MPa (MegaPascals).

Steel Type: They are structural steels (S).

Heat Treatment: Both are delivered in a quenched and tempered (Q) condition for high strength.

Standard: Both fall under the EN 10025-6 standard.

 

Key Difference:

S890Q: Meets toughness requirements at a standard low temperature (typically -20°C).

S890QL: Meets tougher impact energy requirements at a lower temperature (not lower than -40°C).

1.What is S890Q equivalent to?

S890Q is a European high-yield strength structural steel (EN 10025-6) with a minimum yield strength of 890 MPa, equivalent to the Chinese grade Q890, and is often compared to American grades like ASTM A514 or comparable Japanese standards (JIS G3106 SM570 for similar use), used for heavy-duty applications like cranes, bridges, and mining equipment requiring excellent weldability and strength after quenching and tempering.

 

2.What is S890QL material equivalent?

S890QL is a European (EN 10025-6) high-strength quenched and tempered structural steel, with equivalents including TStE 890 V, SSAB's Strenx 900 E/F, and Dillinger's DILLIMAX 890, offering a minimum yield strength of 890 MPa, good weldability, and toughness for demanding applications like heavy machinery and construction. Key equivalents often focus on similar yield strength (around 900 MPa or 130 ksi) and processing, though exact chemical compositions and impact toughness temperatures might vary slightly by standard.
