Q1300 Q1300C Q1300D Q1300E S1300QL High Strength Steel Plate

As an ultra-high-strength steel for construction machinery, Q1300E has a yield strength of up to 1300 megapascals – before this, domestic steel enterprises could only produce products with a strength of 1100 megapascals, and this field had long relied on imports.

Deskripsi Produk

Q1300 Q1300C Q1300D Q1300E S1300QL High Strength Steel Plate”This batch of products will be supplied to Sany Heavy Industry for use in the booms of large-tonnage cranes. Eventually, they will be exported to the European and American markets. The customers have given very positive feedback,” said Wang Jiming, the project manager of the steel for construction machinery.

In 2021, the steel market was booming, and the profits of ordinary building materials steel were even higher. However, we predicted that the trend of industry lightweighting and high-endization would be irreversible. Based on strategic considerations for reserves, JBL completed the R&D preparation for Q1300E that year, just waiting for the commercial application opportunity. This became a crucial step for the company to implement its strategy of “high-endization of quality and brand”. Nowadays, JBL has seen significant growth in high-end steel fields such as high-strength dan low-temperature toughness, achieving a leap from “lagging behind” to “keeping pace” and even “leading the way”.

Currently, the lightweighting and greening of construction machinery have become industry trends. The research and development of advanced steel materials is providing a solid foundation for the upgrading and substitution of equipment materials and the lightweighting of products – higher-strength steel means “reducing material usage while maintaining the same load-bearing capacity”, which can not only reduce costs but also lower energy consumption, aligning with the direction of green manufacturing.

Q1300 MPa-grade steel plates—-characteristic

  • Ultra-high strength 
  • Excellent toughness 
  • Delivery in tempered state 

 

  • Welding challenges and controllability: The higher carbon content leads to a significant tendency towards hardening, requiring strict preheating (typically above 150℃) and the use of ultra-low hydrogen welding materials to prevent cold cracking. However, reliable connections can be achieved through process control.
  • Processing limitations: High hardness results in the need for high energy input for cutting (recommended laser/plasma or water jet), a bending radius that is larger than that of ordinary steel to avoid degradation of the performance in the heat affected zone.
