S890QL is a structural steel grade with an even greater yield strength than S690QL. The material serves as a great option for procurers who wish to promote high strength in a cost effective way. Due to the characteristics of the steel, clients can use this material in numerous applications resulting in a leaner build whilst still maintaining great strength.
S890QL is a water quenched & tempered steel which complies with the EN10025:6:2004 specification.
Please refer to the technical details below referring to S890QL.

1.What is the difference between S890QLand S890Q?
The difference between S890QL and S890Q is the specified minimum impact energy requirement, with S890QL indicating a minimum impact energy of 30 Joules at not lower than -50°C, whereas S890Q typically implies a lower energy level (e.g., 30J at -20°C) or no specific low-temperature impact requirement, making S890QL better suited for colder applications due to its enhanced toughness. Both are high-yield strength structural steels (890 MPa) supplied in the quenched and tempered condition (Q) as per EN 10025-6.
2.What is S890QL material equivalent?
S890QL is an ultra-high strength structural steel (EN 10025-6) with 890 MPa yield strength, quenched & tempered; key equivalents include ASTM A514 (similar properties, different spec), Strenx® 900 E, and commercial names like DILLIMAX 890T or WELDOX 900, with Q890 (China) and TStE 890 V also being comparable grades for similar applications.
