S420M Steel EN 10025-4 Hot Rolled Plate Supplier

Gangsteel – China's Leading Mill-Direct Supplier & Exporter of S420M Steel EN 10025-4 Hot Rolled Plates

Gangsteel is the professional supplier you can trust for S420M steel EN 10025-4 hot rolled plates, with the largest permanent stock in Asia – over 4,000 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) hot rolled by top mills with full European approvals and third-party inspection (DNV-GL, ABS, LR, BV, CCS, KR, TÜV, SGS).

S420M is the mid-range high-strength grade in the en 10025 4 High Strength Structural Steel family, offering 420 MPa minimum yield strength and ≥40 J impact toughness at –20 °C. It is the direct TMCP alternative to normalized S420N (EN 10025-3) and the sister grade to the low-temperature bestseller S420ML (–50 °C).

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

 

What is S420M Steel EN 10025-4 Hot Rolled Plate?

S420M steel 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 – controlled hot rolling + accelerated cooling, no separate normalizing)

The TMCP process gives S420M superior properties compared to normalized grades:

  • Higher strength-to-weight ratio
  • Lower residual stress
  • Better flatness and dimensional stability
  • Excellent weldability (CEV ≤ 0.48)
  • Better fatigue performance and HAZ toughness

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 S420M Hot Rolled 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.
