What is S420M Material EN 10025-4 Weldable Structural?

S420M material is a thermomechanically rolled (TMCP) weldable fine-grain structural steel specified in EN 10025-4:2004 (current version 2019).

The designation “S420M” means:

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

The weldable nature comes from the very low CEV (≤ 0.48) and clean steel practice, allowing no preheating up to 80 mm thickness in most conditions.

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.

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.

Hardness: 150–200 HBW Density: 7.85 g/cm³

Available Specifications & Testing

• Thickness: 6–200 mm (20–120 mm most popular in stock)
• Width: 1500–4200 mm
• Length: up to 18 000 mm
• Z-quality: Z25 standard, Z35 large stock
• NDT: 100 % ultrasonic testing EN 10160 S2/E2 (S3/E3 optional)
• Surface: shot-blasted + primer or mill finish
• Certification: EN 10204-3.1/3.2, PED, CPR, all major class approvals

Applications of S420M Weldable Structural Material

S420M is widely used when high strength and good weldability are 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.

Summary

S420M EN 10025-4 is a TMCP weldable fine-grain structural steel with 420 MPa yield strength and ≥40 J impact at –20 °C, offering an excellent balance of strength, weldability, and cost for applications above –20 °C. Gangsteel stocks over 4,000 tons of S420M with full certification and fast delivery, making it the reliable choice for cranes, bridges, and heavy equipment.

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.
