When your project demands exceptional strength, durability, and reliability, S690QL and S690QL1 high-strength structural steels deliver unmatched performance.
These grades belong to the EN 10025-6 standard and are widely used in heavy engineering, offshore structures, and construction where weight reduction and load-bearing capacity are critical.
At Nifty Alloys LLC, we are a trusted supplier and stockist of S690QL and S690QL1 steel plates, serving clients across the UAE and exporting worldwide. Our inventory includes a wide range of thicknesses, sizes, and specifications to meet diverse project requirements.
Both S690QL and S690QL1 steels are quenched and tempered (Q&T) structural steels known for their high yield strength (690 MPa minimum), superior impact resistance, and excellent weldability. The key difference lies in their impact testing temperatures — S690QL is tested at -40°C, while S690QL1 is tested at -60°C, making it ideal for colder environments.
