EN S235J0C High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: **Product Name:** EN S235J0C Structural Steel, Hot Rolled, Quality Grade **Overview:** EN S235J0C is a **non-alloy structural quality steel** defined under the European standard EN 10025-2. It belongs to the S235 strength class and is specifically intended for **cold forming applications**. The suffix "C" denotes its primary characteristic: **guaranteed suitability for cold forming**, achieved through stricter controls on chemical composition, particularly lower carbon and phosphorus levels, compared to the standard S235J0 grade. While it is characterized by good ductility, it is **not classified as a "High Manganese" steel** in the technical sense; its manganese content is standard for this strength class. This steel is an optimal choice for components that undergo significant cold working such as bending, punching, or rolling after delivery. **Key International Standards:** * **Primary Standard:** **EN 10025-2:2019** - Hot rolled products of structural steels - Part 2: Technical delivery conditions for non-alloy structural steels. * **Grade & Quality Designation:** **S235J0C** * **S:** Structural Steel. * **235:** Minimum yield strength in MPa (for nominal thickness ≤ 16mm). * **J0:** Quality designation, indicating impact energy testing at **0°C**. * **C:** Supplementary designation for **steels intended for cold forming**. * **Important Clarification:** The "C" grade should not be confused with "High Manganese" steels. Its key feature is enhanced **cold formability**, not elevated manganese content for strength. Manganese levels are comparable to or slightly lower than standard S235 grades. * **Equivalents:** There is no direct, universally adopted equivalent in ASTM or other standards, as the "C" requirement is specific to EN. In terms of general purpose and formability, it can be loosely compared to **ASTM A36** or more precisely to steels specified for cold forming in other regional standards. **Chemical Composition (Ladle Analysis, % by weight, maximum values per EN 10025-2):** The composition is optimized for maximum ductility and cold forming performance. * **Carbon (C):** ≤ **0.17%** (Often on the lower end of the range to enhance formability). * **Manganese (Mn):** ≤ **1.40%** (Standard content for S235; not elevated). * **Phosphorus (P):** ≤ **0.030%** (Tighter limit than standard S235J0 ≤0.035%, improving cold formability and toughness). * **Sulphur (S):** ≤ **0.030%** (Tighter limit than standard S235J0 ≤0.035%, improving formability and surface quality). * **Nitrogen (N):** ≤ **0.012%**. * **Note:** The combined effect of lower max P and S is a key differentiator from S235J0. **Physical & Mechanical Properties (for hot-rolled condition, thickness ≤ 16mm):** * **Yield Strength (ReH):** ≥ **235 MPa** (Minimum, thickness-dependent). * **Tensile Strength (Rm):** **360 - 510 MPa**. * **Elongation at Break (A5):** ≥ **26%** (Minimum, typically higher in practice due to the "C" grade chemistry). * **Impact Energy (KV):** **≥ 27 J at 0°C** (Longitudinal, Charpy V-notch). This guarantees basic toughness for cold environments. * **Cold Formability:** Excellent. The steel is specifically supplied with the expectation that it will undergo cold forming operations (bending, folding, rolling) to a greater degree than standard grades without risk of cracking or excessive work hardening. * **Bending Properties:** Minimum inside bend radii can be lower compared to standard S235J0 for the same thickness. * **Density:** **~7.85 g/cm³**. * **Modulus of Elasticity:** **210 GPa**. **Product Features:** 1. **Superior Cold Formability (Primary Feature):** The "C" designation ensures the steel is chemically optimized and processed to withstand severe cold deformation without failure, making it ideal for press-brake forming, roll-forming, and deep drawing applications. 2. **Guaranteed Low-Temperature Toughness:** Maintains the J0 quality impact resistance at 0°C, providing reliability for outdoor or cold-climate applications. 3. **Excellent Weldability:** Very low carbon equivalent ensures outstanding weldability using all common methods. Pre-heating is generally not required. 4. **Consistent Quality for Fabrication:** Provides predictable and consistent behavior during fabrication, reducing scrap rates and rework in cold-forming intensive production. **Typical Applications:** S235J0C is specified where complex shapes are created through cold working: * **Cold-Formed Structural Sections:** Purlins, girts, channels, and angles produced by roll-forming for building frameworks. * **Metal Building Systems:** Roof and wall cladding supports, trim, and flashings. * **Automotive & Transportation:** Frame components, brackets, and supports formed by stamping or press-braking. * **Storage & Shelving Systems:** Components for heavy-duty racking and storage units that require precise cold bending. * **General Fabrication:** Brackets, housings, guards, and any part requiring significant bending or forming after cutting. **Available Forms & Processing:** * **Forms:** Commonly supplied as **hot-rolled sheet and strip** in coils or cut lengths, which are the primary feedstock for cold-rolling mills. Also available as plates and flat bars. * **Surface:** Typically with mill scale. Often supplied as pickled and oiled (PO) for cold forming operations to improve tool life and surface finish. * **Processing:** **Exceptionally suited for cold forming**. Also easily weldable, shearable, and punchable. --- **Procurement & Specification Note:** It is critical to specify the **full designation "S235J0C"** to obtain the correct grade optimized for cold forming. Simply ordering "S235J0" will not guarantee the tighter phosphorus and sulphur limits. The mechanical properties are thickness-dependent. This grade is a **specialized material for fabrication** rather than a general-purpose structural steel like S235JR. For applications not involving significant cold working, the standard S235J0 may be more cost-effective. The term "High Manganese" is a misnomer for this grade; its defining characteristic is **enhanced cold formability**. -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: EN S235J0C High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <5806 mm Size:We can customized as required Standard： Per your request or drawing We can customized as required Properties（Theoretical） Chemical Composition -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: EN S235J0C High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
