FAQ

What is grade S420N EN10025-3?

Grade S420N EN10025-3is a high-strength normalized weldable fine-grain structural steel with 420 MPa min yield (≤16 mm), 520–680 MPa tensile, and 40 J impact at -20°C. It ensures fine-grain structure for high toughness and weldability.

What is the chemical composition of grade S420N EN10025-3?

Max 0.20% C, 1.00–1.70% Mn, 0.025% P, 0.020% S, CEV ≤ 0.48, with Al ≥ 0.020% for grain refinement.

What are the mechanical properties of grade S420N EN10025-3?

  • Yield: 420 MPa (≤16 mm) → 340 MPa (200–250 mm)
  • Tensile: 520–680 MPa (≤100 mm), 500–650 MPa (>100 mm)
  • Elongation: 19% (≤63 mm), 18% (>63 mm)
  • Impact: 40 J longitudinal / 27 J transverse at -20°C

How does grade S420N EN10025-3 compare to S420NL?

Same yield, tensile, chemistry— only impact test differs:

  • S420N: 40 J at -20°C
  • S420NL: 27 J at -50°C

What are the equivalent grades for grade S420N EN10025-3?

  • ASTM: A572 Gr. 65
  • DIN: TStE 420
  • JIS: SM570
  • GB: Q420B

All require normalized delivery and -20°C impact.
