What is S420M+N Z35 EN 10025-4 Through-Thickness Plate?

S420M+N Z35is a thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel under EN 10025-4:2004 (2019 revision) with additional Z35 through-thickness quality per EN 10164 Class 3.

• S420M= structural steel, 420 MPa yield, TMCP delivery, standard –20 °C impact
• +N= normalized (optional, but often included for consistency in some specifications)
• +Z35= guaranteed through-thickness ductility: minimum 35 % reduction of area (RA_z) in Z-direction tensile test (three specimens per heat, average ≥35 %, single ≥25 %)

Z35 quality prevents lamellar tearing in highly stressed welded joints where tension acts perpendicular to the plate surface (T-joints, cruciform welds, gusset plates, etc.).

S420M+N Z35 is the preferred grade for:

• Mobile and crawler cranes
• Heavy lifting equipment
• Offshore crane pedestals
• Seismic-resistant building columns
• Thick plate welded structures under high Z-direction stress

Chemical Composition – Ladle Analysis (max % unless noted)

Typical Gangsteel actual values: C 0.09–0.13 %, CEV 0.40–0.46 → excellent weldability without preheating up to 80 mm thickness.

Mechanical Properties – Full Thickness Range up to 200 mm (transverse values)

*Gangsteel guarantees higher values in thick plates by agreement.

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.

FAQ – Detailed Answers

Q1: What is the difference between S420M and S420ML?

A: The only difference is the impact test temperature. S420M is tested at –20 °C with minimum 40 J (longitudinal), while S420ML is tested at –50 °C with minimum 27 J. Yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, chemical composition, and weldability are exactly the same. Choose S420M when service temperature is above –20 °C; choose S420ML when below –20 °C.

Q2: Is preheating required when welding S420M?

A: No preheating is required up to 80 mm thickness thanks to the very low CEV (typically 0.40–0.46 actual). For thicknesses over 80 mm or highly restrained joints, a modest preheat of 75–100 °C is sufficient. This is a major advantage over many other structural steels.

Q3: Do you have Z35 quality in stock for S420M?

A: Yes – we keep very large stock of S420M + Z35 (reduction of area ≥35 % per EN 10164 Class 3), especially in 20–120 mm thickness, ready for immediate delivery. Z35 is essential for critical welded joints under tension perpendicular to the plate surface.

Q4: What is the density and hardness of S420M?

A: Density is 7.85 g/cm³ (7850 kg/m³), hardness is 150–200 HBW (typical 160–180 HBW in our stock). These values are consistent across the entire thickness range.

Q5: What NDT do you provide as standard?

A: 100 % ultrasonic testing to EN 10160 S2/E2 is included with every plate. We can upgrade to S3/E3, magnetic particle (MT), or penetrant testing (PT) on request at no extra charge for reasonable quantities.

Q6: What is the maximum thickness you can supply for S420M?

A: Up to 200 mm with full properties and certification. We guarantee minimum yield of 360 MPa up to 180 mm and 340 MPa to 200 mm – significantly better than the standard requirement.

Q7: How fast can you deliver to Europe or USA?

A: From ready stock: 7–12 days to Rotterdam, Antwerp, Houston, or Los Angeles. We have regular consolidation containers and can offer air freight for urgent small quantities (<10 tons) in 48–72 hours.
