This grade is particularly suitable for use in low temperature environments due to its superior toughness and strength. Below is a detailed product introduction that highlights its chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat treatment conditions, low-temperature impact testing, available size range, primary applications, and relevant supply cases from TJC Steel Group.
Chemical Composition:
EN10028-3 P460NL2 steel plate is characterized by its precise chemical composition, which ensures its excellent mechanical properties and weldability. The typical chemical composition is as follows:

• Carbon (C): ≤ 0.16%
• Silicon (Si): ≤ 0.50%
• Manganese (Mn): ≤ 1.50%
• Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.025%
• Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.015%
• Aluminum (Al): ≥ 0.020%
• Niobium (Nb): ≤ 0.05%
• Titanium (Ti): ≤ 0.03%
• Vanadium (V): ≤ 0.05%
• Nickel (Ni): ≤ 0.50%

Mechanical Properties:
The mechanical properties of P460NL2 are crucial for its application in pressure vessels, especially in demanding environments. The following are the typical mechanical properties:

• Yield Strength: ≥ 460 MPa
• Tensile Strength: 570 - 720 MPa
• Elongation: ≥ 19%
• Impact Energy (at -40°C): ≥ 40J

Heat Treatment Conditions:
P460NL2 steel plates are generally supplied in the normalized condition. Normalization is a heat treatment process that involves heating the steel to a temperature above its upper critical point and then cooling it in air. This process refines the grain structure and improves the mechanical properties of the steel.
Low-Temperature Impact Test:
The low-temperature impact test is a critical requirement for materials used in cryogenic environments. P460NL2 steel plates are subjected to impact tests at -40°C, ensuring that they meet the necessary toughness criteria for low-temperature applications.
Available Size Range:
TJC Steel Group offers EN10028-3 P460NL2 steel plates in a wide range of sizes to cater to the diverse needs of its customers. The available size range typically includes:

• Thickness: 6mm - 300mm
• Width: 1500mm - 4020mm
• Length: 3000mm - 18000mm

Primary Applications:
The exceptional properties of P460NL2 make it suitable for a variety of applications, including:

• Pressure vessels and boilers
• Storage tanks for liquefied gases
• Columns and heat exchangers
• Petrochemical equipment
• Nuclear power plant components
