What is S420N Steel Equivalent to DIN?

As a leading exporter and manufacturer of high-quality structural steel plates, Gangsteel specializes in producing EN 10025-3 S420N steel.

S420N steel equivalent to DINis TStE 420 (DIN 17102), a normalized fine-grain structural steel with 420 MPa yield and -20°C impact toughness.

Our S420N plates are dual-certified (EN + DIN) upon request.

Substitution Guidelines

  1. Use TStE 420 normalized
  2. Specify -20°C impact (40 J)
  3. CEV ≤ 0.48
  4. Welding: Same — no preheat ≤50 mm

FAQ

What is the DIN equivalent of S420N?

TStE 420 (DIN 17102)420 MPa yield, normalized, fine-grain. Direct replacement.

How do S420N and TStE 420 differ?

S420Nhas lower P/S (0.025/0.020 vs 0.030/0.025) for better toughness. All other specs identical.

Are mechanical properties the same?

Yes— yield, tensile, elongation, and 40 J at -20°C match exactly.

Can TStE 420 replace S420N?

Yes— if:

  • Normalized
  • Impact tested at -20°C
  • CEV ≤ 0.48

Perfect for German-standard projects.

What about S420NL?

TStE 420 L— same as S420N, but 27 J at -50°C.
