WELTEN 780E and WELTEN 900E are advanced quenched and tempered high-strength steel plates developed by Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation, Japan. With minimum yield strengths of 780 MPa and 900 MPa respectively, these plates are ideal for weight-saving, fatigue-resisting, and impact-critical structures.
Used widely in cranes, high-load trailers, marine components, bridges, mining machinery, and defense structures, WELTEN plates are known for their toughness at sub-zero temperatures, superior flatness, and weldability — all while reducing the steel weight in your project without compromising strength.
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we offer ready stock and mill imports of WELTEN 780E / 900E plates with custom size processing, full traceability, and global delivery backed by strict Japanese quality.
Due to their ultra-high yield strength and impact-tested low-temp performance, WELTEN plates are used in:
If your goal is more strength with less steel, WELTEN 780E / 900E is a smart upgrade from standard Q&T plates.
These grades are designed to deliver uniform mechanical performance with reliability across varying plate thicknesses
| Property | WELTEN 780E | WELTEN 900E |
|---|---|---|
| Yield Strength (min) | 780 MPa | 900 MPa |
| Tensile Strength | 820–950 MPa | 940–1100 MPa |
| Elongation (≥) | 14–16% | 13–15% |
| Charpy Impact Test | 47J at –40°C | 47J at –40°C |
| Thickness Range | 6 – 100 mm | 6 – 100 mm |
Designed to maintain strength under fatigue, impact, and subzero operating conditions.
WELTEN steel plates are produced using clean steel technology, ensuring low impurity content, excellent weldability, and low CE (carbon equivalent).
| Element | Typical % (Max) |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | 0.10–0.18 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 1.60 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.55 |
| Chromium (Cr) | ≤ 0.80 |
| Nickel (Ni) | ≤ 1.40 |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | ≤ 0.50 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.005 |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.015 |
| CE (Carbon Eq.) | ≤ 0.47 |
Consistent welding performance, fatigue strength, and excellent post-processing behavior.
While WELTEN 780E / 900E are proprietary grades from Nippon Steel, they are comparable to leading international high-strength structural steel standards.
| Standard | Comparable Grade |
|---|---|
| EN 10025-6 | S690QL, S890QL, S960QL |
| ASTM | A514 Grade F, A517 F |
| JFE | HITEN 780LE / 900LE |
| SSAB | Strenx 700 / 900 |
| Dillinger | Dillimax 690T / 890T |
When transitioning from these grades, WELTEN offers better impact performance, tighter tolerances, and superior Japanese finish quality.
