S460

S460 is a designation that can refer to several different entities, most notably a specific type of steel and a pharmaceutical compound.

In the context of metallurgy, S460 is a high-strength structural steel grade. It is defined by European standards, specifically EN 10025-3. This steel possesses a minimum yield strength of 460 MPa (megapascals), hence its designation. It is known for its good weldability and toughness, making it suitable for applications requiring robust structural integrity under demanding conditions. Common uses include the construction of bridges, buildings, and offshore structures. The "S" in S460 typically denotes structural steel.

As a pharmaceutical compound, S460 is often associated with research and development, particularly in the field of neuroscience. It has been investigated for its potential effects on certain neurotransmitter systems. Scientific literature may refer to S460 in studies exploring its pharmacological properties, mechanisms of action, and potential therapeutic applications. Information regarding its precise chemical structure and specific indications can be found in specialized scientific databases and publications. The exact nature and use of S460 in this context are often subject to ongoing research and may not be widely available or approved for general use.
