Dillimax 690T / 890T Plates – High-Strength Solutions for Demanding Projects

Dillimax 690T and Dillimax 890T are ultra high-strength quenched and tempered steel plates engineered for extreme performance under dynamic loads. Manufactured by Dillinger in Germany, these proprietary steels are widely used in cranes, heavy lifting equipment, and structural frames where both strength and low weight matter.

With yield strengths of 690 MPa and 890 MPa respectively, these plates offer superior load-bearing capacity without adding bulk. They are trusted across Europe and globally for their tight thickness tolerance, excellent weldability, and fatigue resistance—especially in industries where safety, precision, and strength are non-negotiable.

Whether you’re a structural fabricator, EPC contractor, or OEM building demanding machinery, Dillimax 690T/890T plates ensure your projects remain lighter, stronger, and longer-lasting.

Applications Across Industries

Dillimax 690T and 890T plates are precision-grade structural steels designed for:

  1. Cranes & Booms – Lifting arms, telescopic booms, and outriggers
  2. Mobile Equipment – Excavators, mining tippers, low-bed trailers
  3. Construction Machinery – Heavy-duty earthmoving and tunneling equipment
  4. Steel Structures – Bridges, offshore platforms, lifting devices
  5. Defense & Marine – Hull structures, gun mounts, naval support frames
  6. Wind Towers & Energy – Yaw systems, load-bearing columns
  7. Railway & Metro Infrastructure – Components requiring low weight and high strength

They are ideal where lightweight, high-yield structures must handle dynamic forces and vibrations.

Mechanical Properties & Grade Performanc

Dillimax 690T:

  • Yield Strength: Min. 690 MPa
  • Tensile Strength: 770–940 MPa
  • Elongation: ≥14%
  • Charpy Impact Test: ≥27J at -40°C
  • Brinell Hardness: ≈220 HB

Dillimax 890T:

  • Yield Strength: Min. 890 MPa
  • Tensile Strength: 940–1100 MPa
  • Elongation: ≥12%
  • Charpy Impact Test: ≥27J at -40°C
  • Brinell Hardness: ≈250 HB

These properties allow structures to endure high bending and dynamic stresses with less material usage, improving both performance and design flexibility.

Chemical Composition

Carefully controlled alloying ensures weldability, strength, and toughness:

Element 690T (Max %) 890T (Max %)
Carbon (C) 0.18 0.20
Manganese (Mn) 1.70 1.70
Silicon (Si) 0.50 0.50
Chromium (Cr) 0.50 0.80
Molybdenum (Mo) 0.70 0.70
Nickel (Ni) 1.80 2.00
Phosphorus (P) 0.020 0.020
Sulphur (S) 0.010 0.010
CE (Carbon Equivalent) ~0.45 ~0.48

This chemistry ensures good weldability, even with high strength, and reduces the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking during fabrication.

Technical Standards & Equivalent Grades

internationally accepted standards for quenched and tempered structural steel.

Related Standards:

  • EN 10025-6: European standard for Q&T steels
  • ISO 4952: Steels for mechanical structures
  • ASTM A514 / A517: Comparable performance standards
  • DIN 17102 / SEW 092: Historical German standards

Equivalent Grades:

Dillinger Brand Equivalent Grade
Dillimax 690T EN 10025-6 S690QL / Weldox 700
Dillimax 890T EN 10025-6 S890QL / Weldox 900
Dillidur 500 EN 10083-2 50CrMo4 (approx.)
STE 690 Obsolete DIN Grade (≈ S690QL)

Note: While mechanical performance is comparable, welding and forming behavior should be validated before substitution.

Thickness Range & Plate Sizes

At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we stock Dillimax plates in custom sizes to support urgent project needs.

Available Range:

  • Thickness: 6 mm to 150 mm
  • Width: Up to 3000 mm
  • Length: Up to 12000 mm
  • Tolerances: EN 10029 Class B (tightest precision on flatness)

We also offer CNC cut-to-size plates as per client drawings, minimizing scrap and machining time.

Heat Treatment & Toughness

Dillimax plates are manufactured using advanced quenching and tempering (Q&T) cycles.

Process Highlights:

  • Quenching rapidly cools the plate after high-temperature austenitizing, forming a hard martensitic structure.
  • Tempering refines this structure to enhance ductility and reduce brittleness.

Both Dillimax 690T and 890T:

  • Show superior toughness at -40°C, tested using Charpy V-notch
  • Maintain microstructural uniformity across thickness

Offer impact resistance and fatigue performance ideal for cranes, booms, and heavy moving assemblies

Machining & Fabrication Advice

Dillimax plates are engineered for ease of fabrication, even at high strength.

Cutting:

  • Suitable for laser, plasma, and waterjet
  • Smooth edge finish, minimal heat-affected zones

Forming:

  • Cold bending is possible with proper tooling and bend radius
  • Springback is higher than mild steel — factor this into your process

Welding:

  • Weldable with standard low-hydrogen electrodes
  • Preheat may be required above 20 mm thickness
  • Follow Dillinger’s official welding guidelines (EN 1011-2)

We assist fabricators with WPS, PQR, and welding consultancy on request.
