    General Product Description

    Strenx® 960 E/F is a structural steel with a minimum yield strength of 850-960 MPa depending on thickness.

    Strenx® 960 E fulfills the requirements for S960QL in EN 10025-6 and Strenx® 960 F for S960QL1. Typical applications include demanding load-bearing structures.

    Strenx® 960 E/F benefits include:

    • Exceptional consistency within a plate guaranteed by close tolerances
    • High impact toughness which provides for good resistance to fractures
    • Superior bendability and surface quality
    • Weldability with excellent HAZ strength and toughness

    Dimension Range

     Strenx® 960 E is available in 4.0 - 120.0 mm thickness and 960 F in 4.0 - 100.0 mm. Strenx® 960 is available in widths up to 3350 mm and lengths up to 14630 mm depending on thickness. More detailed information on dimensions is provided in the dimension program.

            1) Unless otherwise agreed, transverse impact testing according to EN 10025-6 option 30 will apply. For thicknesses between 6 - 11.9 mm, sub-size Charpy V-specimens are used. The specified minimum value is then proportrional to the cross-sectional area of the specimen compared to a full-size specimen (10 x 10 mm).

                    Bendability according to Strenx® Bending Guarantee Class B.

                    Strenx® 960 E/F has obtained its mechanical properties by quenching and subsequent tempering. The properties of the delivery condition cannot be retained after exposure to temperatures in excess of 550ºC.

                    Appropriate health and safety precautions must be taken when welding, cutting, grinding or otherwise working on this product. Grinding, especially of primer coated plates, may produce dust with a high particle concentration.
