What is EN 10025-4 S420M High Strength Steel Plate?

EN 10025-4 S420M is a thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel with:

  • Minimum yield strength 420 MPa
  • Excellent toughness ≥ 40 J at –20 °C (longitudinal)
  • Very low CEV ≤ 0.48 → outstanding weldability (no preheat up to 80 mm)
  • Fine grain structure (ASTM 8–11)

The designation “S420M” means:

  • S= structural steel
  • 420= minimum yield strength 420 MPa (transverse, thickness ≤ 16 mm)
  • M= thermomechanical rolling (TMCP delivery condition)

S420M is the mid-range high-strength grade in the EN 10025-4 family, perfectly balancing cost, strength, and weldability when service temperature is above –20 °C.

Applications of EN 10025-4 S420M Plates

S420M is widely used when high strength is required:

  • Mobile and crawler cranes
  • Heavy lifting equipment
  • Offshore crane pedestals
  • Wind turbine towers (onshore)
  • Bridge girders and trusses
  • Mining equipment

When the temperature drops below –20 °C, the low-temperature version S420ML is required.
