What is S460M Equivalent ASTM Grade Steel Plate?

S460M equivalent ASTM grade refers to the closest U.S. specifications that match S460M under EN 10025-4:2004 (2019)—a thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel with 460 MPa minimum yield strength and ≥40 J Charpy V-notch at –20 °C longitudinal.

 

The most widely accepted S460M equivalent ASTM grades are:

ASTM Grade

Key Match to S460M

Typical Use Case

A913 Grade 65

Yield 450 MPa, fine-grain, TMCP-like

Preferred U.S. high-rise & bridges

A572 Grade 65

Yield 450 MPa, similar chemistry

General structural

A588 Grade B + Z35

Weathering + through-thickness

Corrosive environments

A633 Grade E

Normalized, –50 °C toughness

Cold-region alternative

 

Best overall equivalent: ASTM A913 Grade 65 + Z35

  • Fine-grain requirement
  • High-strength low-alloy (HSLA)
  • Excellent weldability
  • Commonly dual-certified with S460M

Gangsteel supplies dual-certified S460M + A913 Gr.65 plates when required by U.S. projects.
