RQT 701 Quenched and Tempered Steel Plate

RQT 701 Quenched and Tempered Steel Plate

The steel has been developed for use in applications such as mining and quarrying, process industry, material handling, construction, and earth moving. Designers, engineers, and plant operators strive to reduce weight and increase the efficiency of equipment. There are significant benefits to be had by using high strength quenched and tempered steels for maximum structura performance in extreme working environments.

We often find that this type of material is called different things by different engineers. Plate to this specification and grade is variously described as:

• High Strength Quenched and Tempered Steel Plate
• High Yield Quenched and Tempered Steel Plate
• High Strength Structural Steel Plate
• High Yield Structural Steel Plate
• High Strength Low Alloy Steel Plate
• HSLA

Fabrication of RQT 701 Steel Plate.

RQT 701 steel plate can be easily welded and fabricated but its high yield strength and tensile strength compared with mild steel means that it should be treated with some caution. We have provided information which is intended as a basic guide to various fabrication methods. Please click here to view this. If you require more detailed advice on welding, machining, or forming then please contact any one of our offices.
