S460ML Material EN 10025-4 Thermomechanical Supplier

Gangsteel – China's Leading Mill-Direct Supplier & Exporter of S460ML Material EN 10025-4 Thermomechanical Steel Plates

As a seasoned Chinese steel exporter dedicated to empowering global builders with dependable materials, Gangsteel stocks premium en 10025 4 s460ml steel plate from our expansive 15,000+ ton inventory. EN 10025-4 S460ML is a high-strength, fine-grain structural steel developed through TMCP (Thermomechanical Controlled Processing), offering a minimum yield strength of 460 MPa and reliable low-temperature toughness to –50 °C. Available in thicknesses 6–200 mm, widths up to 4200 mm, and lengths to 18 m, our plates are manufactured by top mills like HBIS and Baowu, complete with PED/CE marking (2014/68/EU) and EN 10204-3.1/3.2 test reports. Third-party validations from DNV, ABS, Lloyd’s, BV, or TÜV ensure seamless integration into international standards.

This grade's value stems from its TMCP benefits, ideal for high-load applications where S355ML might underperform. S460ML's high elongation (≥17%) suits cold forming (radius 3t), perfect for prefab in construction. Amid volatile markets, Gangsteel's mill links stabilize supply, with digital MTCs for full provenance.

What is EN 10025-4 S460ML TMCP Structural Steel Plate?

EN 10025-4 S460ML is a thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel specified in the European EN 10025-4:2004 standard (updated 2019), designed for maximum strength in low-temperature settings. The "S" denotes structural purpose, "460" the nominal yield in MPa for thin gauges, "M" the thermomechanical state, and "L" enhanced impact at –50 °C (≥27J Charpy V-notch). TMCP—controlled deformation and cooling—forms a consistent ferrite structure, yielding 15–20% better performance than S460N in EN 10025-3, with 10–15% thinner sections for lighter footprints.

Core strengths include low carbon equivalent (CEV ≤ 0.48) for welding without preheat up to 80 mm thick, strong HAZ crack resistance, and optional Z-direction (Z25/Z35) to avoid delamination in joints. Unlike normalized EN 10025-3 S460NL, S460ML's TMCP reduces stresses and improves uniformity for mild dynamics. It meets Eurocode 3 and EN 1090 for fabrication, powering from refrigerated warehouses to basic marine aids. Gangsteel focuses on S460ML stock (key 10–70 mm thick) for fast 3–7 day delivery, supporting ventures like Nordic storage and coastal walkways.

This grade's value lies in its budget-friendly entry to TMCP benefits, ideal for SMEs where S500ML might over-spec at 20–30% higher cost. S460ML's high elongation (≥17%) suits cold forming (radius 3t), perfect for prefab in housing surges. Amid volatile markets, Gangsteel's mill links stabilize supply, with digital MTCs for full provenance.

Chemical Composition – Ladle and Product Analysis Combined

S460ML's makeup stresses cleanliness and balance, limiting P/S for toughness, with light alloying for weld synergy. Al-killed for sparse oxides.

Comparison Within the Standard

S460ML vs. family on properties.

S460ML trails S460M by 20 USD/ton sans chill, suiting frosty vaults over sheds, but trails S420ML's 15% yield for 10% thinner in trusses—at 30% cost bump. Vs. S500ML, it prioritizes stretch (higher A%) and weld (lower CEV) for light fab vs. heavies. S460ML grabs 35% of EN 10025-4's high-end share (Eurofer stats), Gangsteel's SME favorite.

Equivalent International Grades

S460ML matches global shifts, TMCP aiding rolled precision.

Applications & Design Considerations for S460ML

S460ML's chill poise and yield simplify Eurocode 3 shear proofs, trimming 20% vs. S355ML in braces while padding impacts. Key fields:

• Cold Logistics: Fridge enclosures, ice rink bases—KV at –50 °C bars snaps.
• Marine Lite: Dock fenders, wave barriers; fatigue EN 1993-1-9 > S355 (Δσ=170 MPa).
• Agri Cold: Frozen silos, chiller frames—low CEV seals lap welds.
• Temp Mods: Seasonal bridges, expo halls; Z35 stops cracks in clips.

Tips: Use E50xx fillers; heat ≤1.8 kJ/cm HAZ. Form 1.8t cold; heat 700–850 °C. Green: 100% recycle, 15% CO2 drop vs. HR TMCP. Gangsteel does plasma cuts (±1.5 mm) and zinc (35 µm) for fixings.
