S275M Equivalent Material EN 10025-4 Plate Supplier

Gangsteel – China's Leading Mill-Direct Supplier & Exporter of S275M Equivalent Material EN 10025-4 Plates

Gangsteel is the professional supplier you can trust for S275M equivalent material EN 10025-4 plates, with the largest permanent stock in Asia – over 5,000 tons always ready in thickness 6–200 mm, width 1500–4200 mm, length up to 18 meters. All plates are genuine TMCP (thermomechanical controlled process) produced by top mills with full European approvals and third-party inspection (DNV-GL, ABS, LR, BV, CCS, KR, TÜV, SGS).

S275M is the entry-level high-strength grade in the en 10025 4 High Strength Structural Steel family, offering 275 MPa minimum yield strength and ≥40 J impact toughness at –20 °C. It is the direct TMCP alternative to normalized S275N (EN 10025-3) and the sister grade to the low-temperature bestseller S275ML (–50 °C).

We also stock the complete EN 10025-4 series, including the popular low-temperature grade en 10025 4 s275ml steel plate and en 10025 4 s275m steel plate, standard-temperature en 10025 4 s355m steel plate, mid-range en 10025 4 s355ml steel plate and en 10025 4 s420ml steel plate, higher-strength en 10025 4 s460m steel plate, and top-end en 10025 4 s460ml steel plate.

 

What is S275M Equivalent Material EN 10025-4?

S275M equivalent material refers to international steel grades that match or closely approximate S275M under EN 10025-4:2004 (2019)—a thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel with 275 MPa minimum yield strength and ≥40 J Charpy V-notch at –20 °C longitudinally. The designation "S275M" means "S" structural, "275" nominal yield (MPa, ≤16 mm transverse), "M" TMCP delivery (900-1100 °C rolling + 20-40 °C/s cooling).

TMCP's fine grains (ASTM 8-10) and low CEV ≤0.38 provide superior weldability (no preheat to 100 mm) and isotropy versus normalized or QT alternatives. Equivalents are vital for global projects, allowing substitution without re-qualification under codes like Eurocode 3 or DNV-OS-B101. Common scenarios include replacing S275M with Q275C (GB) for Chinese-EU hybrids or A572 Gr.42 (ASTM) for U.S. compliance.

Gangsteel supplies S275M with dual/triple certification, ideal for hybrid specs. For chemical basis, S275M Chemical Composition EN 10025-4 Supplier; mechanical, S275M Mechanical Properties EN 10025-4 Plate Supplier.

Applications & Design Considerations for S275M

S275M's TMCP simplicity suits Eurocode 3, trimming 10% vs. S235 in frames while padding impacts. Key fields:

  • Light Infra: Walkway trusses, wind braces—KV at –20 °C bars snaps.
  • Marine Lite: Dock fenders, wave barriers; fatigue EN 1993-1-9 > S235 (Δσ=140 MPa).
  • Agri Mods: Farm silos, chiller frames—low CEV seals lap welds.
  • Temp Mods: Seasonal sheds, expo halls; Z35 stops cracks in clips.

Tips: Use E42xx fillers; heat ≤1.8 kJ/cm HAZ. Form 1.8t cold; heat 700–850 °C. Green: 100% recycle, 15% CO2 drop vs. HR TMCP. Gangsteel does plasma cuts (±1.5 mm) and zinc (35 µm) for fixings.
