Technical Specifications
Product Overview
Metallurgical Characteristics
EN S890QL is a fine-grained, quenched and tempered structural steel with exceptional strength properties achieved through controlled thermomechanical processing. The steel features a tempered martensitic microstructure with fine carbide precipitation, providing optimal combination of strength, toughness, and weldability. MetalZenith's advanced alloying strategy incorporates precise amounts of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum to enhance hardenability while maintaining low carbon equivalent for superior weldability.
Heat Treatment Process
MetalZenith employs a sophisticated quenching and tempering process optimized for EN S890QL production. The steel is austenitized at 900-950°C, followed by controlled water quenching to achieve full martensitic transformation. Subsequent tempering at 580-650°C ensures optimal strength-toughness balance while relieving residual stresses. Our computer-controlled heat treatment lines guarantee consistent mechanical properties across all product dimensions.
Manufacturing Excellence
Our integrated steel production facility utilizes electric arc furnace technology with secondary refining processes including ladle furnace treatment and vacuum degassing. Continuous casting ensures homogeneous chemical composition, while controlled rolling in the finishing temperature range refines the austenite grain structure. MetalZenith's quality management system encompasses real-time process monitoring, statistical process control, and comprehensive testing protocols.
Quality Standards & Certifications
EN S890QL production at MetalZenith complies with EN 10025-6 standard requirements and additional customer specifications. Our quality assurance program includes chemical analysis by optical emission spectroscopy, mechanical testing per EN ISO 6892-1, Charpy impact testing at specified temperatures, ultrasonic inspection per EN 10160, and dimensional verification. All products are supplied with comprehensive mill test certificates (3.1 per EN 10204) and traceability documentation.
