Key Applications
Lifting & Transport: Mobile cranes, loader cranes, truck bodies, trailers, and hydraulic systems, allowing for higher payloads.
Construction: Frameworks for skyscrapers, towers, and large industrial structures.
Infrastructure: Bridges and sea-links that need to support heavy loads.
Heavy Equipment: Buckets for earthmoving, agricultural machinery, and mining equipment.
Offshore & Marine: Offshore cranes and structures requiring high strength and toughness.
Specialized Structures: Aircraft hangars, railway components, and high-strength containers.
Why S890QL is Used
High Strength: Provides a significant strength-to-weight advantage over conventional steels, reducing material usage.
Toughness: Offers good impact resistance, with optional low-temperature impact testing for extreme conditions (e.g., arctic).
Weldability: Relatively easy to weld and fabricate, simplifying production.
Versatility: Meets demanding requirements for both strength and durability in various sectors.

How to store S890QL steel plates?
Store them in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture and corrosive substances. Cover with waterproof cloth to prevent rusting.
What machining methods are suitable for S890QL?
It can be machined by turning, milling, drilling, and grinding. Use high-speed steel or carbide tools with appropriate cutting parameters for best results.
What is the tensile strength range of S890QL?
Its tensile strength ranges from 940 MPa to 1100 MPa, making it ideal for structures that need to resist high tensile forces.
Is S890QL resistant to corrosion?
It has moderate atmospheric corrosion resistance. For harsh corrosive environments, additional protection like painting or galvanizing is needed.
Can S890QL be used in offshore structures?
Yes, with proper anti-corrosion treatment, it is suitable for offshore platforms and marine equipment due to its high strength and toughness.
What preheating temperature is needed for welding S890QL?
The preheating temperature is usually 80-150℃, depending on plate thickness. Thicker plates require higher preheating to prevent cracking.
Does S890QL require post-weld heat treatment?
It is recommended for thick sections or high-stress joints. Post-weld tempering relieves residual stress and improves the toughness of the weld zone.
What is the density of S890QL?
The density of S890QL is approximately 7.85 g/cm³, the same as conventional carbon structural steels, facilitating weight calculation in design.
Can S890QL be bent or formed?
Yes, it can be cold or hot formed. Cold forming requires proper tools and parameters, while hot forming at appropriate temperatures enhances formability.
What is the difference between S890QL and S690QL?
S890QL has a higher yield strength (890 MPa vs 690 MPa) than S690QL, suitable for more demanding load-bearing scenarios with stricter strength requirements.
