S460ML section steel

S460ML section steel is also used for medium or short span beams for bridges, chord, and diagonal members of trusses, pipelines, plater girders, pressure vessels and road tankers. It is easy to weld, process, and bend both on site and in workshops.

EN10025-4 S460ML structural section has a high tensile strength, meaning it is is hard-wearing whilst also having a good stretch-flangeability allowing thinner steel plates to be used and thus reducing the amount of welded joints. These attributes result in the production of environmentally sound, durable and smart structures.

S460ML Chemical Composition

S460M Steel Welding
S460ML is fine grain meaning it can be easily-welded. Owing to its reduced carbon content and low carbon equivalent value, it can be deployed in all known welding processes and is commonly used by in both automatic and manual welding applications.

Applications of S460ML section
Using S460ML structural steel sections can offer a number of benefits for high-rise/multi-storey buildings it has a well-balanced cost and efficiency. The strength and light weight of S460ML means the size of the structural sections, particularly columns, can be reduced. The buildings become lighter, with a weight reduction of 10-30% when using S460 (65 ksi) instead of S355 (50 ksi): 15% for columns, 20-35% for trusses. However, structural safety is not negatively impacted but this weight reduction.
