DIWETEN 460+M

DIWETEN 460+M introduction

DIWETEN 460+M is a higher strength fine grained structural steel with improved atmospheric
corrosion resistance. Due to its chemical composition, this material develops a patina with increased
resistance against the atmospheric corrosion in comparison with the normal structural steels.

DIWETEN 460+M has minimum yield strength of 460 MPa in its delivery condition ex works (referring
to the lowest thickness range). The thermomechanical rolling process allows using less alloying
elements, leading to a lower carbon equivalent and hence an improved weldability compared to
normalized weathering steels of the same strength.
