What is JFE Hiten 780 LE Steel? Properties & Grade Meaning

JFE Hiten 780 LE is a low alloy, high-strength quenched and tempered steel plate developed for critical structural applications. The grade designation includes:

  • “780” = Minimum yield strength of 780 MPa
  • “LE” = Low temperature and high elongation variant for enhanced impact resistance and ductility

This grade is optimized for:

  • Weldability
  • Fatigue strength
  • Weight reduction in structural designs

It is a direct competitor to Domex 700 / STRENX 700 / S690QL / Weldox 700.

Applications of JFE Hiten 780 LE Steel Plates

Hiten 780 LE is used in high-load structural, automotive, and heavy-duty fabrication sectors, such as:

  • Hydraulic cranes, boom lifts, aerial platforms
  • Heavy trailers, side dumpers, tippers, rear chassis
  • Offshore structures, jack-up rigs, lifting frames
  • Mining machinery and bulldozer underframes
  • Defense-grade hull structures and pressure modules

JFE 780 LE ensures higher load-bearing at lower thickness, reducing overall structure weight without compromising safety.

Mechanical Properties of JFE Hiten 780 LE Plates

Property Value
Yield Strength ≥ 780 MPa
Tensile Strength 820 – 950 MPa
Elongation (t ≤ 50 mm) ≥ 15%
Impact Toughness (typical) 27J @ -40°C
Hardness (approximate) 240 – 290 HB
Thickness Range 6 mm to 80 mm
CE (Carbon Equivalent) Typically ≤ 0.45%
  • Supplied in quenched & tempered condition
  • Plates are ultrasonically tested and mill-certified

Technical Standards, Approvals & Equivalent Grades

JFE Hiten 780 LE conforms to proprietary quality standards by JFE Steel Corporation (Japan), recognized globally for:

  • Advanced low-alloy steel metallurgy
  • Excellent flatness & tight thickness tolerance
  • High impact values at low temperatures

Approvals / Specifications:

  • JFE internal specification C1E-002
  • ASTM A514 / A517 (comparable)
  • EN 10025-6 S690QL (partial equivalent)
  • ISO 4950-2 for weldable structural steel
  • CE / PED / IBR ready (via 3.1 MTC)

Thickness Range, Plate Sizes & Tolerances

Available Range:

  1. Thickness: 6 mm to 80 mm
  2. Width: Up to 3000 mm
  3. Length: Up to 12000 mm (mill edge or sheared)
  4. Tolerances: EN ISO 10029 Class A/B or tighter on request

Custom-cut shapes, beveled edges, chamfering, and counter-bored holes can be delivered for ready-to-assemble structures.

Heat Treatment, Quenching & Tempering Process

All JFE Hiten 780 LE plates are:

  • Quenched: Rapidly cooled from austenitizing temperature
  • Tempered: Reheated to improve toughness & ductility

This Q&T process results in:

  • Fine grain microstructure
  • Excellent impact resistance at -40°C
  • Higher fatigue life for moving structures

Plates can be ordered in as-rolled or heat-treated (Q&T) condition with heat charts.

Machining, Welding & Fabrication Guidelines

Despite its high tensile nature, Hiten 780 LE is weldable and machinable with correct procedures:

Welding Notes:

  • Use low-hydrogen electrodes (E7018, E11018-G)
  • Preheat ≥ 100°C for >30 mm thickness
  • Post-weld heat treatment not usually required

Machining Advice:

  • Use carbide-tipped tools for cutting
  • Edge preparation via plasma or waterjet is preferred
  • CNC contour cutting available in-house

WPS / PQR / WPQ services provided on request.
