Hindustan Steel Corporation is a leading exporter of EN 10025-6 S960QL plates to South Africa, delivering ultra-high-strength structural steel to mining, energy, transport, and infrastructure projects.
We supply cut-to-size, pre-tested S960QL steel plates with full EN 10025-6 certification and export documentation.
All plates are delivered in quenched and tempered (Q&T) condition with guaranteed weldability, impact resistance, and low CE values.
S960QL is widely used in industries where high strength, reduced weight, and fatigue resistance are critical. In South Africa, common sectors include:
Many EPC contractors in South Africa are now shifting to Q&T plates like S960QL for strength optimization.
| Property | Value (Typical) |
|---|---|
| Minimum Yield Strength | 960 MPa |
| Tensile Strength Range | 980–1150 MPa |
| Elongation | 10–14% |
| Impact Strength | 30J at –40°C |
| Hardness (Brinell) | ~290–340 HBW |
| Condition | Quenched + Tempered |
| Weldability | Excellent (Low CE) |
All plates are UT-tested, heat-certified, and ready for structural design.
| Element | Typical % |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.20 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.80 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 1.70 |
| Chromium (Cr) | ≤ 1.50 |
| Nickel (Ni) | ≤ 2.00 |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | ≤ 0.70 |
| Vanadium (V) | ≤ 0.12 |
Exact composition varies by thickness and manufacturer batch. We provide MTC 3.1 / 3.2 with every export order.
Our plates strictly comply with:
International equivalents include:
We offer a wide range of S960QL plate sizes, including:
| Thickness Range | Width | Length |
|---|---|---|
| 6 mm to 100 mm | 1500–3000 mm | 6000–12000 mm |
Custom cut-to-length and profiling available for boom parts, chassis, and brackets.
All plates are supplied in Q&T (Quenched and Tempered) condition:
This makes S960QL ideal for structural and heavy-duty applications in South Africa’s diverse climates.
Plates can be CNC plasma cut, laser profiled, or milled with standard tooling.
