RINA F460 steel plate, also written as RI/F460, RINA Grade F460, Registro Italiano Navale F460 or market names such as FH46 / FQ47, is the extra-high-strength hull structural steel of RINA Rules for the Classification of Ships (IACS UR W16 extra-high-strength family) with 460 MPa minimum yield, 570-720 MPa tensile strength and Charpy V-notch toughness at -60°C [-76°F]. In the grade name, "F" is the toughness class, and "460" is the yield-strength level in MPa (not AH460). Gangsteel, a steel plate exporter, supplies RINA F460 / RI/F460 plates cut to size for shipbuilding, offshore platforms and marine structures.
Data source: Per IACS UR W16 (extra-high-strength hull structural steel) as adopted in RINA (Registro Italiano Navale) hull structural steel rules, cross-checked with LR FH46 / ABS FQ47 sibling pages on gangsteel.net. Official mill/certificate grade is RINA F460 (RI/F460). Verify the current RINA edition before ordering.

Per IACS UR W16 / RINA extra-high-strength rules. Exact maxima for Ni, Cu, Cr and Mo depend on delivery condition (N/NR, TM or QT). Carbon equivalent / CET / Pcm limits apply by thickness and condition; confirm on the mill certificate and current rule edition.
When product analysis is required, apply ASTM A6/A6M Table A permitted variations to the heat limits unless the element is min-only or not listed in Table A.

Per IACS UR W16 / RINA rules (common t≤50 mm values). Yield may step down for thicker plates per UR W16; confirm thickness-dependent values on the order.
| Thickness | Test temperature | Longitudinal, avg min | Transverse, avg min |
|---|---|---|---|
| t≤50 mm | -60°C [-76°F] | 46 J | 31 J |
| 50<t≤70 mm | -60°C [-76°F] | 46 J | 31 J |
| 70<t≤100 mm | -60°C [-76°F] | 46 J | 31 J |
Per IACS UR W16 / RINA extra-high-strength practice. Average of three full-size specimens; transverse values apply when required. Thicker plates by agreement.
Deoxidation: Killed, fine-grain practice. Delivery condition: typically TMCP or QT for extra-high-strength plates; N/NR may apply at lower extra-high levels per rules. F-class (F460) grades are supplied normalized or TMCP (often with Ni alloying for -60°C toughness); as-rolled delivery is not permitted. Optional extras: UT, Z15/Z25/Z35, RINA survey.
Extra-high-strength RINA A/D/E/F 420-690 plates are commonly supplied from about 6 mm to 100 mm thick (thicker by agreement under UR W16). Width 1500-4000 mm and length 6000-18000 mm are typical.

IACS societies align extra-high-strength hull grades under UR W16; naming differs (RINA F460, LR FH46, ABS FQ47). Dual certification is common when ordered that way.
It is an extra-high-strength hull structural steel under RINA Rules (IACS UR W16 extra-high-strength family), with 460 MPa minimum yield, 570-720 MPa tensile strength and Charpy toughness at -60°C [-76°F]. The mill certificate grade is RINA F460 (RI/F460).
RINA is Registro Italiano Navale (RI on certificates). The letter F is the toughness class (Charpy at -60°C [-76°F]), and 460 is the yield-strength level in MPa. Market/LR naming often uses FH46; ABS often uses FQ47. Note: RINA does not use AH460 — the grade is F460, not AH460.
Minimum 460 MPa (67 ksi), tensile 570-720 MPa (83-104 ksi), elongation about 17% min (for the common thickness range).
Charpy V-notch at -60°C [-76°F]. Typical longitudinal average minimum is 46 J (transverse 31 J) for the tabulated thickness range on this grade page.
Same 460 MPa strength class. Toughness class differs: A at 0°C, D at -20°C, E at -40°C, F at -60°C. Chemistry (C, P, S, Mn) is tightened for colder classes.
RINA AH40 is UR W11 higher-strength (390 MPa). RINA F460 is UR W16 extra-high-strength (460 MPa) with different chemistry and delivery practice (often TM/QT).
They are IACS counterparts in the extra-high-strength family; exact chemistry/delivery options differ by society edition. Dual certification is available when surveys are arranged.
Weldable with approved procedures for extra-high-strength ship steel. Preheat, heat input and consumable matching are critical; follow the mill WPS and RINA welding requirements.
Extra-high-strength grades are typically delivered TMCP or quenched and tempered (QT), sometimes normalized/normalized-rolled depending on strength level and thickness. F-class (F460) grades are supplied normalized or TMCP (often with Ni alloying for -60°C toughness); as-rolled delivery is not permitted. Optional extras: UT, Z15/Z25/Z35, RINA survey.
Common supply is about 6-100 mm (thicker by agreement under UR W16 / RINA rules), 1500-4000 mm wide and 6000-18000 mm long.
