S460N Round Bar Uses

S460N Round Bar Uses

Gangsteel explore the versatile applications of S460N round bar, a high-strength, low-alloy structural steel under EN 10025-3, engineered for demanding projects. Known for its fine-grain structure and excellent toughness, S460N round bar is ideal for components requiring durability in moderate climates, such as shafts, pins, and fasteners in heavy machinery.

As part of the en 10025 3 normalized steel plate family, S460N round bar offers a minimum yield strength of 460 MPa and -20°C toughness. Gangsteel dives into the uses of S460N round bar, its chemical composition, mechanical properties, and fabrication considerations, with comparisons to grades like en 10025 3 s420n normalized structural steel plate and en 10025 3 s355n normalized structural steel plate.

What is S460N Steel?

S460N is a normalized or normalized rolled fine-grain structural steel under EN 10025-3, with:

• S: Structural steel.
• 460: Minimum yield strength of 460 MPa (≤16 mm).
• N: Normalized, with impact toughness tested at -20°C.

S460N round bar is forged or hot-rolled into cylindrical shapes for high-strength components. Compared to en 10025 3 s355n normalized structural steel plate, S460N provides higher strength for more demanding uses.

Chemical Composition of S460N Round Bar

The chemical composition of S460N round bar ensures durability:

Carbon Equivalent (CEV): ≤0.48% (≤63 mm), calculated as CEV = C + Mn/6 + (Cr + Mo + V)/5 + (Ni + Cu)/15, ensuring weldability for S460N round bar.

Mechanical Properties of S460N Round Bar

The mechanical properties of S460N round bar support its uses:

• Yield Strength: ≥460 MPa for load-bearing.
• Tensile Strength: 540-720 MPa for durability.
• Impact Toughness: ≥27 J at -20°C for moderate climates.

Uses of S460N Round Bar

S460N round bar is machined into:

• Shafts and Pins: For cranes and heavy machinery, leveraging toughness.
• Bolts and Fasteners: High-strength connections in structural frameworks.
• Axles and Rods: In industrial equipment for fatigue resistance.

Diameters range from 10-300 mm, with normalized condition for uniformity.

Welding and Heat Treatment

S460N round bar is weldable:

• Welding: GMAW or SAW per EN 1011-2. Preheating (100-150°C) for >20 mm.
• PWHT: Optional at 550-650°C.
• Consumables: ER70S-6 (GMAW), EM12K flux with EH14 wire (SAW).
