Advantages of TMCP Steel Plates

25-30% higher
High yield strength & toughness in design strength
Good Weldability Less chance of cold-crack ⇒Results in
25-30% savings!※
TMCP Steel is low-alloyed metal in steel amounts.
※strength design
Short lead time Similar to conventional steel

2010 JFE STEEL had introduced TMCP STEEL PLATES (S460M)

into asian market.
2012 ～ JFE STEEL had started supplying S460M
for the building projects in Singapore & Hong Kong.
2015 ～ JFE STEEL had supplied S460M for the Vietnamese project.

most effective materials
・Mega in simplifying fabrication & on-site
job as well as in material savings.
-column ⇒Reduction in site-job workload
ex. Site-welding, Crane-lifting
・Kingpost ⇒Simple welded-shape is better
Large H-shape Large H-shape in concrete casting & filling rather
