EN S235J2G4C High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: **Product Name:** EN S235J2G4C Structural Steel for Cold Forming, Thermomechanically Rolled **Overview:** EN S235J2G4C is a **specialized non-alloy structural steel** that integrates three critical performance attributes into one designation: **guaranteed low-temperature toughness (-20°C), a thermomechanically rolled (TM) microstructure for enhanced properties, and a chemical composition optimized for superior cold formability.** The "C" suffix explicitly designates it as **steel intended for cold forming**. Supplied in the thermomechanically rolled condition, this grade represents a high-performance, fabrication-oriented material for components that undergo significant cold working and must operate reliably in cold environments. It is **not a "High Manganese" steel**; its premium is derived from its advanced processing route and formability. **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 & Designation Decoding:** **S235J2G4C** * **S:** Structural Steel. * **235:** Minimum yield strength in MPa (for thickness ≤ 16mm). * **J2:** Quality designation, guaranteeing impact energy at **-20°C**. * **G4:** Supplementary designation for the **delivery condition: thermomechanically rolled (TM)**. * **C:** Supplementary designation for **steels intended for cold forming**. * **Core Concept:** This is a **triple-qualified, application-specific steel**. The "G4C" combination mandates: 1. A thermomechanically controlled process for a fine-grained, tough microstructure. 2. A chemical composition with tighter limits on phosphorus and sulphur to maximize cold formability. * **Clarification:** The term **"High Manganese" is a misnomer**. The "C" grade typically has controlled, not elevated, manganese content. Its value lies in the **TM process + formability chemistry**, not high Mn. **Chemical Composition (Ladle Analysis, % by weight, maximum values per EN 10025-2 for 'C' grades):** Chemistry is fine-tuned for the TM process and cold forming. * **Carbon (C):** ≤ **0.17%** (Often at the lower end to aid formability and weldability). * **Manganese (Mn):** ≤ **1.40%** (Controlled, not elevated). * **Phosphorus (P):** ≤ **0.030%** (Tighter than standard S235J2's ≤0.035%. Critical for reducing "cold shortness" during forming). * **Sulphur (S):** ≤ **0.030%** (Tighter than standard ≤0.035%. Improves ductility and reduces risk of cracking). * **Nitrogen (N):** Controlled. * **Microalloys (Nb, Ti):** Often added in minute quantities (e.g., Nb ≤ 0.05%) to enable effective grain refinement during the TM process. **Physical & Mechanical Properties (for thermomechanically rolled 'G4' condition, thickness ≤ 16mm):** * **Yield Strength (ReH):** ≥ **235 MPa** (Minimum, thickness-dependent. The TM process often yields strength at the upper end of the S235 range, providing a performance margin). * **Tensile Strength (Rm):** **360 - 510 MPa**. * **Elongation at Break (A5):** ≥ **26%** (Minimum, typically good due to fine TM microstructure and "C" chemistry). * **Impact Energy (KV):** **≥ 27 J at -20°C** (Longitudinal, Charpy V-notch). The fine grain structure from TM rolling provides excellent low-temperature toughness. * **Cold Formability:** **Excellent.** The primary feature. The combination of fine, uniform TM microstructure and low P/S content allows for severe cold deformation (tight-radius bending, roll-forming, stamping) with minimal risk of cracking or edge failure. * **Microstructure:** Very fine-grained ferrite-pearlite structure with a uniform dispersion, resulting from controlled rolling in the austenite non-recrystallization region. Provides isotropic forming behavior. * **Density:** **~7.85 g/cm³**. **Product Features:** 1. **Superior Cold Formability (Primary Feature):** The "C" chemistry (low P/S) combined with a fine, ductile TM microstructure makes it exceptionally resistant to cracking during aggressive cold forming operations. 2. **Enhanced Toughness from TM Process (G4):** Thermomechanical rolling delivers a finer grain size than conventional hot rolling, providing superior impact toughness at **-20°C** and better overall property consistency. 3. **Good Weldability (with Controlled Procedures):** Low carbon ensures good weldability. However, the TM microstructure is sensitive to high heat input, which can coarsen grains in the Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ). Medium-low heat input procedures are recommended. 4. **No Post-Rolling Heat Treatment:** Properties are achieved in-line, making it a cost-effective option for high-performance forming applications. **Typical Applications:** S235J2G4C is specified for complex, cold-formed components destined for low-temperature service where material consistency is critical. * **Automotive & Transport Safety Components:** **Cold-formed structural brackets, seat frame elements, and chassis reinforcements** for vehicles in cold climates. * **Construction & Architecture:** **Complex cold-rolled profiles for curtain walls, roof systems, and cladding supports** in buildings exposed to winter conditions. * **Material Handling & Storage:** Critical **cold-formed parts for high-strength shelving systems, racking uprights, and conveyor guides** in unheated logistics centers. * **Energy & Infrastructure:** **Brackets, connectors, and housings** for outdoor electrical or telecommunications equipment requiring both formability and cold-region toughness. **Available Forms & Processing:** * **Forms:** Most commonly supplied as **thermomechanically rolled sheet, strip (in coils), and plate**. Ideal as feedstock for modern roll-forming and stamping lines. * **Surface:** Often supplied as **pickled and oiled (PO)** or with a specialized coating to facilitate cold forming and protect against corrosion during storage. * **Processing:** **Optimized for severe cold forming followed by welding.** Fabricators must balance welding parameters to maintain HAZ toughness. --- **Critical Procurement Note:** The designation **S235J2G4C** is highly specific. Ordering **S235J2G4** (without C) delivers TM steel but **not** the optimized cold-forming chemistry. This is a **premium grade for demanding fabrication**. The term **"High Manganese" is incorrect**; its key features are **enhanced cold formability ("C"), guaranteed -20°C toughness ("J2"), and a modern thermomechanically rolled structure ("G4")**. For applications not involving severe cold work, S235J2G4 is sufficient. For higher strength with similar characteristics, explore **S355MC** (a cold-forming microalloyed TM steel). Always confirm thickness-dependent mechanical property guarantees. -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: EN S235J2G4C High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <5810 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 S235J2G4C High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
