Flame cutting of EN S460ML steel plate

Chemical composition differences between the EN S460ML steel plate, Q345 steel grades (Q345A / Q345B / Q345C / Q345D / Q345E):Q345A steel：C≤0.20, Mn ≤1.70, Si≤0.50, P≤0.035, S≤0.035； Q345B steel：C≤0.20, Mn ≤1.70, Si≤0.50, P≤0.035, S≤0.035； Q345C steel：C≤0.20, Mn ≤1.70, Si≤0.50, P≤0.030, S≤0.030, Al≥0.015； Q345D steel：C≤0.18, Mn ≤1.70, Si≤0.50, P≤0.030, S≤0.025, Al≥0.015； Q345E steel：C≤0.18, Mn ≤1.70, Si≤0.50, P≤0.025, S≤0.020, Al≥0.015； All the Q345 steel grades contain Nb≤0.07, V≤0.15, Ti≤0.20, Cr≤0.30, Ni≤0.012, Mo≤0.10.

The deoxidation ability of Al is much stronger than that of Si and Mn when aluminum element (Al element) is added into steel as deoxidizer or alloying element. The main role of aluminum in EN S460ML steel plate etc. steel is to refine grain size and fix nitrogen in steel, so as to significantly improve the impact toughness of steel and reduce the tendency of cold brittleness and aging. Al element can also improve the corrosion resistance of steel, especially when used with molybdenum, copper, silicon, chromium and other elements. The wear resistance of chromium molybdenum steel and chromium steel can be increased by containing Al element.

Looking to the future, our company will make its main business more competitive while carrying out diversified, extensive, green and harmonious development modes, so as to be the most competitive EN S460ML steel plate producer in the world as well as a worldwide first-class enterprise. With ten years cooperation with these big mills, now we are the agent of super stainless steel mills in China.
