JFE Hiten 780LE Plates

Product Overview

JFE HITEN 780LE and WELTEN 780E are advanced high-strength quenched and tempered (Q&T) steel plates produced by JFE Steel Corporation, Japan. These plates are engineered for superior strength (minimum yield strength: 780 MPa) while maintaining excellent weldability, toughness, and formability.

Commonly used in construction machinery, cranes, trucks, bridges, mining equipment, and offshore structures, these plates offer performance, weight reduction, and durability in demanding applications.

Key Features

• High strength: ≥ 780 MPa yield

• Excellent weldability without preheating

• Superior toughness at low temperatures

• Lightweight alternative to conventional structural steels

• Excellent for structural, automotive, offshore, and mobile machinery
