What is Sail Hiten Steel? Grade Properties & Yield Explained

Sail Hiten plates are a premium range of high-strength low alloy (HSLA) structural steel grades developed by SAIL. The number (450, 550, 600) represents the minimum yield strength in MPa.

Grade Yield Strength UTS (MPa) Typical Application
Hiten 450 ≥ 450 MPa 570–720 MPa Cranes, wind towers
Hiten 550 ≥ 550 MPa 630–780 MPa Earthmovers, trailer chassis
Hiten 600 ≥ 600 MPa 700–850 MPa Defense, mining, offshore rigs
  • Complies with IS 2062 E450–E600 and SAIL RSP/BSP mill specifications
  • Ideal substitute for Weldox / Domex / S550MC / STRENX 600

Applications of Sail Hiten 450 / 550 / 600 Plates

Sail Hiten plates are the go-to choice for strength-to-weight critical designs, including:

  • Hydraulic cranes, lattice booms, and lifting arms
  • Defense vehicles, marine hulls, military plates
  • Excavators, bulldozers, bucket frames
  • Telescopic truck cranes and off-road dumpers
  • Wind turbine towers and heavy bridge support components

Their exceptional tensile strength and low weight reduce material consumption while maintaining safety and structural performance.

Mechanical Properties of Sail Hiten Plates

Grade Yield Strength (MPa) Tensile Strength (MPa) Elongation (%) Impact Toughness
Hiten 450 ≥ 450 570–720 ≥ 20 27J @ -20°C (optional)
Hiten 550 ≥ 550 630–780 ≥ 18 27J @ -20°C
Hiten 600 ≥ 600 700–850 ≥ 16 27J @ -20°C
  • Low Carbon Equivalent (CE ≤ 0.45%) ensures weldability
  • Supplied in as-rolled, normalized, or quenched & tempered condition

Standards & Equivalent Grades for Sail Hiten Plates

Sail Hiten grades are developed and certified by SAIL to meet both Indian and international project requirements. These grades are engineered equivalents of global HSLA steels.

Hiten 550 IS 2062 E550 S550MC / Domex 550 / STRENX 550
Hiten 600 IS 2062 E600 / QT STRENX 600 / Weldox 600
  • Supplied with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 Mill TC
  • Batch-level traceability from SAIL BSP, RSP, DSP
