Technical Specifications
Product Overview
Metallurgical Characteristics
S690QL features a fine-grained tempered martensitic microstructure achieved through controlled quenching and tempering processes. The optimized alloy composition with chromium, molybdenum, and boron additions provides exceptional hardenability and strength while maintaining excellent toughness. The fine grain structure ensures superior impact resistance and fatigue performance critical for structural applications.
Heat Treatment Process
MetalZenith employs controlled austenitizing at 900-950°C followed by water quenching and tempering at 580-650°C. Our precise temperature control and optimized cooling rates ensure uniform transformation and optimal mechanical properties throughout the material cross-section.
Manufacturing Excellence
Our advanced production facility utilizes computer-controlled heat treatment systems with real-time monitoring of temperature profiles and cooling rates. The integration of automated handling systems ensures consistent quality and minimizes thermal stress variations during processing.
Specialized Quality Testing
MetalZenith conducts comprehensive testing including welding procedure qualification tests, cold bending tests to evaluate formability, rotating beam fatigue testing for cyclic loading performance, and salt spray corrosion testing for atmospheric exposure resistance. These specialized tests ensure optimal performance in structural applications.
Application Engineering Considerations
For building structures, S690QL enables lighter designs with reduced material usage while maintaining safety factors. In bridge engineering, the high strength-to-weight ratio allows for longer spans and reduced foundation requirements. For machinery manufacturing, the excellent fatigue resistance ensures extended service life under dynamic loading. In vehicle construction, the superior formability enables complex geometries while maintaining structural integrity.
