S690QL-QUALITY-CERTIFICATE.pdf

S690QL and E690 are essentially the same high-strength steel, but they are identified by different standards: S690QL refers to the European standard (EN 10025-6), while E690 is the equivalent grade according to the international ISO 4952 standard. Both indicate a structural steel with a minimum yield strength of 690 MPa, produced using the "quenched and tempered" (Q+T) process.

 

What is S690QL Steel Plate?

 

S690QL Steel Plate is a super strength structural steel grade. S690QL Steel Plate is designed with a superior chemical composition allowing these modules to have good tolerances against different corrosive media. The En 10025 6 S690ql structural steel grade shows enhanced protection against wear and tear across stress-induced environments. S690ql Steel Plate is quenched and tempered to give its extraordinary strength in different structural steel applications.

What is NV e690 material?

 

NV 690 steel which belongs to the high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel has been utilized as the structural components in marine engineering, including pipelines, ocean platforms, naval ships, etc.

 

NV E690 shipbuilding steel plate is an extra higher strength shipbuilding plate which is mainly used for built hull of vessels,ship body construction and oil offshaore platform.Normally when rolling,quenched and tempered would improve steel strength in yield and tensile points.Generally before using these ship plates DNV Grade E690,steel plate pretreatment is necessary.Pre-treatment including shot blasting and painting with shop primer.

 S690Q Steel Plate

 

Can They Substitute Each Other?

 

Direct substitution is not recommended in principle: The two steels have different design purposes (S690QL focuses on extreme cold + heavy load, E690 focuses on marine + welding). Even with the same strength level, there are significant differences in core properties (corrosion resistance, low-temperature toughness, processability).

 

Adaptation in Special Cases:

For domestic heavy-load projects in non-marine environments requiring -40℃ low-temperature toughness, customized quenched and tempered E690 can be used as a substitute for S690QL;

For export marine projects to Europe, if the customer accepts EN standards, S690QL with additional marine anti-corrosion treatment can replace E690, but the cost will be higher.

 

Core Selection Principles

Selection Dimension Recommend S690QL Recommend E690
Executive Standard Requirement European EN 10025-6 Chinese GB/T 712 (classification society certification required)
Service Environment Extreme cold (≤-40℃), dry/conventional environments Marine (salt spray/humid), normal temperature/mild low temperature (≥-40℃)
Core Requirements Ultra-high low-temperature toughness, high wear resistance, heavy-load bearing Good weldability, formability, marine corrosion resistance
Processing Technology Small welding volume of structural parts, requiring high hardness/strength Large-area welding, complex curved surface forming (e.g., hull)
Cost Budget Accept higher cost, pursuing long service life Cost-sensitive, requiring standardization and high cost-effectiveness
