What is the P460M steel plate?

Sep 19, 2025 Leave a message

P460M steel plate is a specific type of weldable, fine-grain, thermo-mechanically rolled alloy steel that conforms to the EN 10028-5 standard for pressure vessels and boilers. It is used in industries like petroleum, power plants, and chemical processing to manufacture components such as reactors, heat exchangers, and pressure vessels, due to its excellent strength and suitable low-temperature properties.

 

Thickness: 6MM to 300MM,

Width: 1500mm to 4050mm,

Length: 3000mm to 15000mm

 

Key Characteristics and Standards

EN 10028-5 Standard:

P460M falls under the EN 10028-5 standard, which specifies requirements for weldable fine-grain steels produced by thermo-mechanical rolling.

Thermo-Mechanical Rolling:

This process involves rolling and cooling the steel in a precisely controlled manner to achieve its fine grain structure and desired mechanical properties.

Fine-Grain Structure:

The fine grain structure of P460M steel provides enhanced toughness and strength, making it suitable for demanding applications.

Weldability:

The "M" in P460M signifies a thermo-mechanically rolled steel that is specifically designed for excellent weldability.
