What is S460ML Steel Equivalent EN 10025-4 International?

S460ML equivalent under EN 10025-4:2004 (2019) refers to international steel grades that match or closely approximate S460ML — a thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel with 460 MPa minimum yield strength and ≥27 J Charpy V-notch at –50 °C longitudinally. The designation "S460ML" means "S" structural, "460" nominal yield (MPa, ≤16 mm transverse), "M" TMCP delivery (900-1100 °C rolling + 20-40 °C/s cooling), "L" low-temp.

TMCP's fine grains (ASTM 8-10) and low CEV ≤0.48 provide superior weldability (no preheat to 80 mm) and isotropy versus normalized or QT alternatives. Equivalents are vital for global projects, allowing substitution without re-qualification under codes like Eurocode 3 or DNV-OS-B101. Common scenarios include replacing S460ML with Q460E (GB) for Chinese-EU hybrids or A913 Gr.65 + Z35 (ASTM) for U.S. compliance.

Gangsteel supplies S460ML with dual/triple certification, ideal for hybrid specs. For chemical basis, S460ML Chemical Composition EN 10025-4 Supplier; mechanical, S460ML Mechanical Properties EN 10025-4 Plate Supplier.
