What is the difference between S460ML and s460NL?

Aug 21, 2025 Leave a message

Unlike any other structural specification under EN10025 S460 material does not have any direct equivalents in ASTM or Shipbuilding (ABS/BV/LR) designations.

 

S460NL & S460ML is used in a number of offshore and onshore applications e.g. legs supports for a jack up platform offshore and as mooring piles for a LNG onshore terminal.

 

Products Description

 

info-202-189S460NL
A normalised material with a minimum yield strength of 450 N/mm2 that has been impact tested at -50°C. S460NL is produced under European designation EN10025-3.
 

S460ML
A thermo-mechanically rolled material with a minimum yield strength of 450 N/mm2 that has been impact tested at -50°C. S460ML is produced under European designation EN10025-4 (TMCP).
