EN 10028-5 Grade P420MHTL2

EN 10028-5 Grade P420MHTL2 introduction

P420M HT is a high strength thermomechanically rolled fine grained structural steel with a minimum yield
strength of 420 MPa (61 ksi) in its delivered condition (referring to the lowest thickness range). P420M HT is
preferentially used for constructions within the steel and cement industry and constructions of installations,
which require enhanced properties at elevated temperatures and which have to meet high safety standards. Due
to its chemical composition and its low carbon equivalent, this steel has an excellent weldability and possesses
high mechanical properties at elevated temperatures.

P420M HT can be delivered in two grades:

Basic quality (L2) with minimum impact values at -20 °C: P420M HT L2

Low temperature quality (K4) with minimum impact values at -40 °C: P420M HT K4
This specification applies to heavy plates with thicknesses of 10 to 100 mm.
