High-Strength and Wear-Resistant Steels


High-strength and wear-resistant steels are special engineering steels developed for applications requiring high strength, low weight, impact resistance, and long service life. Widely preferred in heavy-duty machinery and equipment, crane systems, trailer chassis, construction equipment, mining machinery, agricultural machinery, and steel construction projects, these steels offer reliable solutions in production thanks to their high mechanical performance.

Can Metalurji supplies S690QL, S690QL1, S890QL, S890QL1, S960QL, S960QL1, S355MC, S420MC, S460MC, S500MC, S550MC, S600MC, S650MC, S700MC, 300HB, 400HB, 450HB, 500HB, 600HB, and X120Mn12 grade steels with a wide product range. Reliable solutions are offered to industrial enterprises with grade selection suitable for project requirements, different thickness options, and technical support.

High-Strength (Structural) Steels
High-strength steels allow for the production of lighter yet stronger load-bearing systems thanks to their high yield strength and superior impact resistance. S690QL, S690QL1, S890QL, S890QL1, S960QL, and S960QL1 grade steels reduce weight while increasing structural strength in applications requiring high load-bearing capacity.

These steels are especially preferred in projects requiring high strength, such as:

  • Mobile and stationary crane systems
  • Crane booms and attachments
  • Trailer and semi-trailer chassis
  • Heavy-duty vehicles
  • Steel bridges and overpasses
  • Lifting and handling equipment
  • Industrial constructions

High-Strength Steels Suitable for Cold Forming

S355MC, S420MC, S460MC, S500MC, S550MC, S600MC, S650MC, and S700MC grade steels offer superior formability properties combined with high strength. Thanks to their structure suitable for cold forming processes, they provide high performance in automotive, trailer production, machinery manufacturing, and various industrial applications.

Providing low weight, high load-bearing capacity, and production efficiency, these steels are widely used in modern engineering projects.

Wear-Resistant Steels

Wear-resistant steels are developed to show high resistance against surface losses caused by friction, impact, and abrasive materials. 300HB, 400HB, 450HB, 500HB, 600HB, and X120Mn12 grade steels offer reliable performance under heavy operating conditions thanks to their long service life and low maintenance costs.

They are especially preferred in applications where intense wear is observed, such as:

  • Mining equipment
  • Earthmoving machinery
  • Excavator buckets
  • Rock and ore crushers
  • Conveyor systems
  • Crushing-screening plants
  • Cement factories
  • Recycling plants
  • Construction equipment attachments
  • Truck dumpers
