Stal S460ML EN 10025-4 Polish Steel Plate Supplier

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

As a trusted global steel exporter specializing in premium structural materials, Gangsteel provides top-grade en 10025 4 s460ml steel plate directly from our extensive 15,000+ ton inventory. Stal S460ML (Polish for "steel S460ML") is a thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel under EN 10025-4:2004 (2019 revision), designed for high-strength needs in cold-prone 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 composition emphasizes simplicity and purity, with tight controls on P and S to curb brittleness, and minimal alloying for inherent weld harmony. Fully killed via Al or Si-Al processes for low inclusions.

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.
