S690Q Hot-Rolled Steel Plate vs S700MC High Yield Structural Steel Plate

Dec 01, 2025 Leave a message

S690Q and S700MC are both high-strength steels, but they differ in their specific mechanical properties and production methods.

S690Q is a quenched and tempered (Q&T) steel with a minimum yield strength of 690 MPa and is used for heavy-duty applications like bridges and cranes where weight savings are important.

S700MC is a thermomechanically rolled (MC) steel with a higher minimum yield strength of 700 MPa, known for its excellent formability and weldability, making it suitable for applications requiring complex shapes.

What is the ASTM equivalent of S700mc steel?

ASTM A514 grade

Equivalent Astm of S700mc Steel

The versatile high yield strength S700mc Steel Equivalent Astm grade is the ASTM A514 grade.

 

What is the heat treatment of S700mc?

The heat treatment processes of S700MC significantly influence its microstructure and mechanical properties. Normalizing refines the grain structure, while quenching increases hardness.
