P460M | Pressure Vessel Steel

P460M | Pressure Vessel Steel

P460M is thermomechanically rolled steel for pressure vessels and boilers. The “P” stands for pressure, “460” is the minimum yield strength in MPa, and “M” means thermomechanical processing. Normative standard: EN 10028-5. It has good weldability, high strength, and toughness. P460M is used for industrial tanks and pressure equipment under high temperatures and pressures.

Description

What is P460M?

P460M is a pressure vessel steel made of 0.20% carbon and 1.40% manganese, produced in solid plate form. It is a thermomechanically rolled fine-grain steel with high strength, good weldability, and toughness. Used mainly in pressure vessels and boilers under high temperatures and pressures, it also comes in variants like P460ML1 and P460ML2 for better low-temperature performance. P460M is a thermomechanically rolled and weldable fine-grain steel.

Why Choose P460M Pressure Vessel Steel?

Looking for reliable steel for high-pressure applications like tanks or boilers? At Steel Pro Group, we recommend P460M for its high strength, excellent weldability, and toughness in extreme conditions. P460M is easy to work with, saving time and costs while offering consistent quality with fewer defects. Choosing us ensures reliable supply and expert support throughout your project. What makes P460M stand out is its balance of strength and weldability. For lower-temperature needs, alternatives like P460ML1 or P355NH can also be considered. With P460M, you get dependable, long-lasting performance for your pressure equipment.
