EN S235JRC High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel, 16 mm < t < 25 mm Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: **Product Name:** EN S235JRC Structural Steel for Cold Forming, Hot Rolled, Base Material, Thickness 16 mm < t < 25 mm **Overview:** EN S235JRC is a **specialized non-alloy structural steel** defined under the EN 10025-2 standard. It belongs to the S235 strength class and is distinguished by the supplementary designation **"C"**, which signifies that the steel is **intended for cold forming** and has a chemical composition optimized for this purpose. Supplied in the hot-rolled condition, it provides a crucial combination of adequate base strength, guaranteed room-temperature toughness, and **superior cold workability**. This product is specified for the thickness range **>16 mm to ≤25 mm**, a common range for heavier cold-formed plates and sections. It is **not a "High Manganese" steel**; its defining feature is enhanced formability, not elevated manganese content. **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:** **S235JRC** * **S:** Structural Steel * **235:** Minimum yield strength in MPa for nominal thickness ≤ 16mm (derated for this thickness range). * **JR:** The basic quality designation. Impact tested at **Room Temperature (+20°C)**. * **C:** **Crucial supplementary designation** for **steels intended for cold forming**. This mandates stricter chemical limits. * **Clarification:** This is a **Base Material with a special purpose**. The "C" elevates it from a general-purpose S235JR to a fabrication-optimized grade, but it retains the basic JR toughness level. The term **"High Manganese" is incorrect and misleading**; its premium lies in controlled chemistry for forming. * **Common Equivalents:** There is no direct universal equivalent. The "C" requirement is specific to EN standards. It can be compared to **ASTM A36 with supplemental cold bending requirements**, but chemistry differs. **Chemical Composition (Ladle Analysis, % by weight, maximum values for thickness >16mm - 40mm, per 'C' grade rules):** The composition is tailored for ductility and reduced risk of cracking during cold work. * **Carbon (C):** ≤ **0.17%** (Often aimed at the lower end for better formability). * **Manganese (Mn):** ≤ **1.40%** (Standard, not elevated). * **Phosphorus (P):** ≤ **0.030%** (***Key Differentiator:*** Tighter than the 0.045% limit for standard S235JR. Reduces "cold shortness"). * **Sulphur (S):** ≤ **0.030%** (***Key Differentiator:*** Tighter than the 0.045% limit for standard S235JR. Improves ductility and edge formability). * **Nitrogen (N):** ≤ **0.014%**. * **Note:** The significantly lower maximum limits for Phosphorus and Sulphur are the defining chemical features that enable its superior cold forming performance. **Physical & Mechanical Properties (for hot-rolled condition, thickness >16mm to ≤25mm):** * **Yield Strength (ReH):** ≥ **235 MPa** (Minimum guaranteed value for this thickness range. The yield point is typically well-defined and consistent, which is beneficial for forming). * **Tensile Strength (Rm):** **360 - 510 MPa**. * **Elongation at Break (A5):** ≥ **25%** (Minimum, longitudinal test piece. Expected to be good due to favorable chemistry). * **Impact Energy (KV):** ≥ **27 J at +20°C** (Longitudinal, Charpy V-notch). **No toughness guarantee below +20°C**. * **Cold Formability:** **Excellent.** The primary feature. The steel is certified to undergo significant cold deformation (bending, roll-forming, punching) in this thickness range with a **markedly reduced risk of cracking** at the edges or in the bend zone compared to standard S235JR. * **Density:** **7.85 g/cm³**. **Product Features:** 1. **Optimized for Cold Forming (Primary Feature):** The "C" chemistry ensures the material can withstand more severe cold bending and forming operations without failure, reducing scrap rates in fabrication shops. 2. **Maintained Base Strength & Weldability:** Retains the 235 MPa yield strength (for this thickness) and the excellent weldability of the S235 family. Pre-heating is generally not required. 3. **Cost-Effective for Fabrication:** While potentially slightly more expensive than standard S235JR, it can lead to overall cost savings by improving production yield and allowing for more complex formed shapes. 4. **Predictable Behavior:** Provides consistent and reliable performance during press-brake operations. **Typical Applications (for thickness 16-25mm):** S235JRC is specified where heavier-gauge material requires significant cold working. * **Heavy Fabrication:** **Press-braked brackets, stiffeners, chassis components, and support frames** that require tight bend radii. * **Construction & Infrastructure:** **Cold-formed base plates, column shoes, and connection plates** that are bent to shape after cutting. * **Transportation Equipment:** **Heavier cold-formed parts for trailer undercarriages, body supports, and container corner fittings**. * **Industrial Machinery:** **Guards, housings, and frames** that are formed from plate. * **Material Handling:** **Components for heavy-duty racking and shelving systems**. **Available Forms & Processing (for thickness 16-25mm):** * **Forms:** Primarily supplied as **hot-rolled plates** and **flat bars** within this thickness range. * **Surface:** Typically with mill scale. Can be shot blasted to improve surface condition for painting or further processing. * **Processing:** **Ideal for shearing, punching, and especially press-brake bending.** Also perfectly weldable. May be supplied as "pickled and oiled" for critical forming applications. --- **Critical Selection & Procurement Note:** * **Specification is Key:** You **must** specify **"S235JRC"** to obtain the cold-forming grade. Ordering "S235JR" will deliver standard material with higher P and S, which is more prone to cracking during aggressive forming. * **Temperature Limitation:** Like all JR grades, it is **not suitable** for service temperatures below **0°C** under dynamic loading. For cold-formed parts in cold environments, consider **S235J0C**. * **Not "High Manganese":** Do not use this term. Its value proposition is **"Cold-Formable Base Structural Steel."** * **Thickness-Strength:** Confirm that the minimum yield strength of 235 MPa is acceptable for the design in this specific thickness range. -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: EN S235JRC High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel, 16 mm < t < 25 mm Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <5813 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 S235JRC High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel, 16 mm < t < 25 mm Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
