This Data Sheet applies to seamless tubes, circular hollow sections and tube products made of quenched and
tempered weldable fine-grain structural steel exhibiting the properties listed below in the as-supplied condition.
This steel is particularly suitable for highly stressed welded components, e.g. in structural steelwork such as bridges,
ships, lifting gear and commercial vehicles, as well as for hydraulic cylinders.
Seamless tubes, circular hollow sections and tube products made of FineXcell 890 are manufactured acc. to EN
10297-1 in conjunction with EN 10220 or acc. to EN 10210-1 in conjunction with EN 10210-2 (for special purposes
material can be delivered also on special request acc. to SEW 090-2 or acc. to EN 10216-3 in conjunction with EN
10220 ). The product will be supplied with a type 3.1 or 3.2 inspection certificate according to EN 10204.
Tubes intended for special purposes (e.g. chrome plating) are subject to special agreement.
The service performance of products made from this steel is critically dependent on downstream processing (e. g.
welding methods) and application conditions. Fabricators shall ensure that their calculation, design and operating
methods match the material, reflect state-of-the-art practices and are suitable for the intended purpose, e. g. SEW 088,
published by VDEh Verlag Stahleisen GmbH, Dsseldorf, Germany, should be observed in all processing.
The selection of the steel grade is the customer's responsibility.

The steel contains sufficient alloying additions to achieve a fine-grained microstructure. The nitrogen content (max. 0.020 %) is
combined in nitrides. The Cu content is limited to max. 0.25 %.

minimum average values, only one individual value of a set of three may fall up to 30% short of the average.
Testing is conducted on longitudinal specimens 5 mm wall thickness at the lowest temperature for which values are stated.
Additional testing of transverse specimen and at higher temperatures may be performed by special agreement and have to
be documented in the Inspection Certificate. No additional marking is required.
Requirements for sub-size specimens are reduced in proportion to the cross section of the actual specimen compared to standard
specimens.

Hot forming operations should be carried out in the temperature range of 1050C to 750C. Hot forming operations
such as forging and upsetting should be carried out in the upper temperature range. For processes stretching the
material, the lower temperature range is recommended: Where the final forming stage involves reduction ratios < 5%,
temperatures as low as 700C are permissible. Subsequently the material should be allowed to cool in still air.
Hot forming must be followed by quenching and tempering.
Cold forming is possible. If reheating is necessary, care should be taken to avoid (even locally limited) heating to
temperatures above 550C or 30 K below tempering level, because this might affect the material's properties. After
heavy cold working with reduction ratios > 5%, the material must be either subject to a further quench and temper
treatment or to a stress-relieving.

Care should be taken to minimize the heat input in TIG welding. Stress relieving will generally not be necessary and
should be performed only where it is expressly specified or appears advisable with a view to the design and/or
operating conditions.
Arc-welding should be carried out with appropriate basic-type consumables matching the steel's composition and
properties.
Fillet welds should preferably be carried out by a multi-pass method.

Workpieces must attain the specified temperature over the entire cross-section.
Once the product has reached its hardening temperature no further soaking is required.
For tempering, a minimum soaking time of 30 minutes is specified.
For stress relieving, the minimum soaking time is 30 minutes. In the case of multiple annealing, the maximum soaking
time is 150 minutes. When soaking for more than 90 minutes, the temperature should remain close to the lower limit of
the range.
Remarks
This Material Data Sheet replaces the previous edition in which the old grade designations were used. The correlation
between old and new grade designations can be taken from the actual version of the Grade Transfer Table
( see Material Data Sheet GTT-02).
In case of conflict between the English version and another language version, the English version (E) shall prevail.
