WELTEN 780E / 900E Plates – Japanese Q&T Steel for High-Performance Structures

WELTEN 780E and WELTEN 900E are advanced quenched and tempered high-strength steel plates developed by Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation, Japan. With minimum yield strengths of 780 MPa and 900 MPa respectively, these plates are ideal for weight-saving, fatigue-resisting, and impact-critical structures.

Used widely in cranes, high-load trailers, marine components, bridges, mining machinery, and defense structures, WELTEN plates are known for their toughness at sub-zero temperatures, superior flatness, and weldability — all while reducing the steel weight in your project without compromising strength.

At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we offer ready stock and mill imports of WELTEN 780E / 900E plates with custom size processing, full traceability, and global delivery backed by strict Japanese quality.

Applications – Where WELTEN Plates Deliver Superior Performance

Due to their ultra-high yield strength and impact-tested low-temp performance, WELTEN plates are used in:

  1. Heavy-duty truck chassis – lighter weight, higher payload
  2. Offshore & marine lifting frames – corrosion-resistant and tough
  3. Earthmoving & mining equipment – less wear, better structural stability
  4. Pre-engineered buildings & long-span girders – high-strength with less section thickness
  5. Defense vehicle and structural armor – high-impact energy absorption
  6. Bridge construction – fatigue resistance in dynamic load environments

If your goal is more strength with less steel, WELTEN 780E / 900E is a smart upgrade from standard Q&T plates.

Chemical Composition – Japanese Clean Steel Manufacturing

WELTEN steel plates are produced using clean steel technology, ensuring low impurity content, excellent weldability, and low CE (carbon equivalent).

Element Typical % (Max)
Carbon (C) 0.10–0.18
Manganese (Mn) ≤ 1.60
Silicon (Si) ≤ 0.55
Chromium (Cr) ≤ 0.80
Nickel (Ni) ≤ 1.40
Molybdenum (Mo) ≤ 0.50
Sulfur (S) ≤ 0.005
Phosphorus (P) ≤ 0.015
CE (Carbon Eq.) ≤ 0.47

Consistent welding performance, fatigue strength, and excellent post-processing behavior.

Global Standards & Equivalent Grades

While WELTEN 780E / 900E are proprietary grades from Nippon Steel, they are comparable to leading international high-strength structural steel standards.

Standard Comparable Grade
EN 10025-6 S690QL, S890QL, S960QL
ASTM A514 Grade F, A517 F
JFE HITEN 780LE / 900LE
SSAB Strenx 700 / 900
Dillinger Dillimax 690T / 890T

When transitioning from these grades, WELTEN offers better impact performance, tighter tolerances, and superior Japanese finish quality.

Welding, Forming & Cutting Advantages

WELTEN plates are known for clean grain structure, enabling smooth downstream processing.

Welding:

  • Weldable with MAG/MIG, TIG, and SAW processes
  • Use low hydrogen electrodes
  • Preheating recommended above 40 mm thickness
  • Excellent weld integrity with minimal hardness zones

Forming & Machining:

  • Tight bending radius, ideal for boom arms and structural frames
  • Superior flatness helps reduce post-weld distortion
  • Compatible with laser, plasma, and waterjet cutting

Allows for faster assembly, better finish, and fewer reworks in production.

Post-Treatment, Shot Blasting & Coating Options

We offer additional services to enhance usability and export-readiness.

  • Shot blasting + primer coating
  • Custom painting, edge prepping, or bevel cutting
  • PWHT support if required
  • Quality control with PMI, UT, and mechanical testing

All documentation is heat-wise traceable and aligned with international project needs

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.
