P460NH | Pressure Vessel Steel
P460NH | Pressure Vessel Steel
P460NH is a high-strength, fine-grain steel from the European standard EN 10028-3, designed for pressure vessels. “P” stands for pressure, “460” refers to a minimum yield strength of 460 MPa, and “NH” indicates suitability for high-temperature use and that the material is normalized (N) or normalized rolled (N) for improved toughness and strength. It provides good weldability, toughness, and heat resistance, making it ideal for pressure vessels, boilers, and heat exchangers. Equivalent grades include DIN WStE460, AFNOR E460FP, GB Q460R, and GOST 18G2. Subgrades like P460NL1 and P460NL2 are used in low-temperature conditions.
Description
What is P460NH？
P460NH is a high-strength pressure vessel steel composed primarily of iron, with approximately 0.16% carbon, 1.10-1.70% manganese, and small amounts of silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur. It is a fine-grain steel usually supplied as solid plates. This steel is hot-rolled to enhance its mechanical properties; known for its good toughness, weldability, and heat resistance, it is used in pressure vessels, boilers, and heat exchangers.Why Choose P460NH Pressure Vessel Steel?
