What is S460M Steel Properties EN 10025-4 Data Sheet?

The S460M data sheet under EN 10025-4:2004 (2019) is the official technical document detailing all verified properties of this TMCP weldable fine-grain structural steel, where "S" means structural, "460" nominal yield 460 MPa (transverse ≤16 mm), "M" TMCP delivery (900-1100 °C rolling + 20-40 °C/s cooling). Data sheets include ladle/product chemistry, mechanicals (yield, tensile, elongation, impact), physicals (density, hardness), and optional extras (Z-quality, CTOD).

TMCP's properties—low residual stress (<100 MPa), fine grains (ASTM 8-10), and CEV ≤0.48—yield superior weldability (no preheat to 80 mm), ductility (≥17% elongation), and fatigue life (>10^7 cycles at 180 MPa). Data sheets verify ReH 460 MPa min (actual 470-500 MPa typical), Rm 540-720 MPa, and KV per EN ISO 148-1 (10x10x55 mm, sub-size >40 mm). Density 7.85 g/cm³ and hardness 160-210 HBW support FEA (bilinear 2% hardening) and machining (0.2-0.3 mm/rev feeds).

S460M mechanical properties enable 25-30% thinner sections than S355J2 under Eurocode 3, with partial factor γM0 = 1.0. Gangsteel data sheets are heat-traceable, supporting DNV-OS-B101 or AASHTO with CTOD (>0.35 mm at –20 °C) and KIc (>150 MPa√m at –20 °C).

FAQ

Q1: S460M properties exact value?

A: Yield 460 MPa min ≤16 mm, derating to 350 MPa at 150-200 mm (transverse). Actual Gangsteel 470-510 MPa typical; EN ISO 6892-1 tested. Key for Eurocode 3 allowable stress (f_y = ReH/γ_M0, γ_M0=1.0).

Q2: S460M vs S460ML properties difference?

A: Impact temp: S460M –20 °C ≥40 J for temperate (bridges/machinery); S460ML –50 °C ≥27 J for cold (offshore/Arctic). Yield/chem/elong/density same—ML for < –20 °C (DNV-OS-B101). Gangsteel stocks both with properties MTCs.
