S460K2W Weather-Resistant Structural Steel Plate - EN 10025-5
Engineered to meet EN 10025-5 standards, the S460K2W steel plate is a low-alloy, high-strength material designed for demanding structural applications where weather resistance is critical. With a minimum yield strength of 460MPa, it balances robust load-bearing capacity with exceptional durability, even in corrosive atmospheres like coastal zones, industrial areas, or regions with high humidity.
The steel's composition, enriched with copper, phosphorus, and chromium, forms a protective patina layer that slows down rust progression, reducing the need for frequent painting or coating-cutting long-term maintenance costs by up to 30%. Its hot-rolled finish ensures consistent mechanical properties, while excellent weldability and formability allow seamless integration into complex structures.
Suitable for bridges, offshore platforms, railway carriages, and architectural frameworks, S460K2W complies with strict impact resistance requirements at low temperatures (up to -20°C), ensuring reliability in diverse climatic conditions. Manufactured through advanced rolling and heat treatment processes, the plate meets global quality standards, offering a proven solution for projects prioritizing strength, sustainability, and cost-efficiency. Its eco-friendly design, by minimizing coating use, aligns with modern green construction goals, making it a preferred choice for engineers and architects worldwide.
