Werkstoff S460N Properties

Werkstoff S460N Properties

At Gangsteel, we’re excited to explore the remarkable werkstoff S460N properties, which make this high-strength, low-alloy structural steel a standout for demanding projects. Werkstoff S460N, also known as EN 10025-3 S460N (material number 1.8901), is normalized or normalized rolled for a fine-grain structure, delivering exceptional strength and toughness for applications like bridges, cranes, and building frameworks in moderate climates.

As part of the en 10025 3 normalized steel plate family, werkstoff S460N offers a minimum yield strength of 460 MPa and -20°C toughness. Gangsteel dives into its properties, chemical composition, mechanical characteristics, and applications, comparing it to grades like en 10025 3 s420n normalized structural steel plate and en 10025 3 s355n normalized structural steel plate.

What is Werkstoff S460N?

Werkstoff S460N is a high-strength structural steel under EN 10025-3, with:

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

The normalization process refines the grain structure, enhancing werkstoff S460N properties like strength and weldability, ideal for moderate climates. Compared to en 10025 3 s355n normalized structural steel plate, S460N offers higher strength for heavier structural demands.

Chemical Composition Supporting Werkstoff S460N Properties

Gangsteel ensures werkstoff S460N meets EN 10025-3 chemical composition standards:

Carbon Equivalent (CEV): Capped at 0.48% for plates up to 63 mm, calculated as CEV = C + Mn/6 + (Cr + Mo + V)/5 + (Ni + Cu)/15, ensuring weldability, similar to en 10025 3 s420n normalized structural steel plate.

Mechanical Properties of Werkstoff S460N

Gangsteel guarantees werkstoff S460N properties meet high-strength application needs:

• Yield Strength: Starts at 460 MPa for thin plates, ideal for heavy loads in structures like cranes.
