For years, European steel brands like Dillimax (from Dillinger) and Strenx (from SSAB) have been the go-to names for high-strength quenched and tempered plates.
But times have changed.
With rising import costs, logistics delays, and supply unpredictability, many Indian OEMs in mining, defense, trailers, and construction are asking:
❝ Is there a reliable Indian alternative to Dillimax or Strenx — without compromising on strength, weldability, or performance? ❞
The answer: Yes — HIND Q&T Plates.
| Global Brand | What They Offer | What’s the Catch? |
|---|---|---|
| Dillimax | Toughened plates with low CEV, great impact resistance | High cost, limited availability in India |
| Strenx | Excellent bendability, consistency, and formability | Delayed lead time, strict MOQ, currency impact |
But for Indian manufacturers who:
— HIND Q&T Plates offer a practical, price-competitive, and performance-matched alternative.
Made-in-India, Globally Equivalent
| Feature | HIND Q&T 690 | Dillimax 690T | Strenx 700 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yield Strength | 690 MPa | 690 MPa | 700 MPa |
| Impact Resistance (-40°C) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Weldability (Low CEV) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| EN 10025-6 Equivalent | |||
| Bending / Cutting Support | |||
| Delivery Time (India) | 3–5 Days | 30+ Days | 20–45 Days |
| MOQ | Flexible | MOQ 5–10 MT | MOQ 10 MT |
| Price (per kg, India) | ₹₹ (local) | ₹₹₹₹ (imported) | ₹₹₹₹ (imported) |
Verdict: HIND Q&T plates meet the same engineering standards without the heavy import burden.
| Industry | Global Brand Used Earlier | Now Replaced with… |
|---|---|---|
| Mining Dumper Chassis | Dillimax 690T | HIND Q&T 690 |
| Telescopic Cranes | Strenx 700 | HIND Q&T 890 |
| Hydraulic Supports | Dillimax 890T | HIND Q&T 960 |
| Trailer Reinforcement Beams | Strenx 700 | HIND Q&T 690 |
| Bridge Girders & Booms | Dillimax | HIND Q&T (EN 10025-6) |
| Bulletproof Defense Panels | Strenx / A514 | HIND Q&T + HIND ARMOR |
