What is EN 10025-4 S460ML Steel Plate?

EN 10025-4 S460ML is a thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel, where "S" denotes structural use, "460" nominal yield 460 MPa (≤16 mm transverse), "M" TMCP delivery (900-1100 °C rolling + 20-40 °C/s cooling), and "L" enhanced –50 °C ≥27 J KV (EN ISO 148-1). TMCP refines ferrite-bainite with microalloying (Nb ≤0.05%, V ≤0.12%, Ti ≤0.05%) for ASTM 8-10 grains, ensuring elongation ≥17% and KIc >150 MPa√m at –40 °C.

CEV ≤0.48 enables preheat-free welding to 80 mm, density 7.85 g/cm³ for mass calc, hardness 160-210 HBW for machining. Vs S355ML, S460ML offers 30% higher yield for 20-25% thinner sections under Eurocode 3, with partial factor γM0 = 1.0. Gangsteel verifies with tensile testing (EN ISO 6892-1).

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.

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:

  • Offshore Renewables: Turbine transition pieces (8-10 m dia.), –50 °C KV resists brittle failure from immersion; fatigue per DNVGL-RP-C203 >10^8 cycles at 160 MPa.
  • Cold-Region Infra: Pipeline skids and ice barriers, Z35 preventing tears in T-joints under shear; HIC Class 1 per EEMUA 158.
  • Seismic Builds: Moment frames in high-R zones (EN 1998-1), elongation absorbing 3-4% drifts; corrosion <0.08 mm/year in ISO 12944 C4 with fusion-bonded epoxy.
  • Heavy Mods: Cold-bent hoppers and pressure bins, radius 3t without cracking; 60+ year life with ICCP in brackish waters.

Design notes: Cap interpass at 160 °C for HAZ; use ER60-1 for overmatch. FEA: Elastic-plastic with 1.5% strain hardening. Eco: 98% recyclable, 22% lower CO2 vs. S355 via TMCP. Gangsteel provides pre-beveled (V-groove 60°) and UT Level 4 for zero flaws.

A: Z25 base; Z35 for pulls. EN 10164 Cl.1.

Q6: S460ML = A633E?

A: Yield close (460 vs 415 MPa); S460ML finer grain. AISC w/ impact.

Q7: S460ML custom time?

A: Stock 1–3 days. Fab 2–4 days. Roll 3–4 weeks; rush <4 MT.
