EN S355J2G4 High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: # **Product Name:** EN S355J2G4 (S355J2+M) Structural Steel, Thermomechanically Rolled, Quality Grade **Overview** EN S355J2G4 is a **thermomechanically controlled processed (TMCP), fine-grained structural steel** specified under EN 10025-4. The "J2G4" designation indicates a material with **guaranteed impact toughness at -20°C (J2)**, supplied in the **thermomechanically rolled condition (G4 or +M)**. This modern processing route delivers an exceptional combination of high strength, superior low-temperature toughness, and excellent weldability without requiring a separate normalizing heat treatment, making it both a high-performance and cost-effective choice. It is **not a "High Manganese" steel**; its properties are achieved through advanced rolling technology, precise temperature control, and microalloying, not through elevated manganese content. **Key International Standards** * **Primary Standard:** **EN 10025-4:2019** - Hot rolled products of structural steels - Part 4: Technical delivery conditions for thermomechanical rolled weldable fine grain structural steels. * **Grade & Condition Designation:** **S355J2G4** or **S355J2+M** * **S:** Structural Steel. * **355:** Minimum yield strength (ReH) in MPa for thicknesses **≤ 16 mm**. * **J2:** Quality designation, guaranteeing impact energy testing at **-20°C**. * **G4/M:** Indicates **thermomechanical rolling (TMCP, M)**. This is a sophisticated, computer-controlled rolling process within specific temperature ranges to achieve the final properties. * **Important Distinction:** This grade is part of the **fine-grained steel** family. The TMCP process is designed to produce a very fine grain structure, which is the key to its enhanced toughness and strength. * **Common International Equivalents:** * **ASTM:** **A841** (Specification for steel plates produced via the TMCP process). **A709 Grade 50** is a strength equivalent. * **GB/T:** **Q355D** (though typically normalized, TMCP variants exist). * **ISO:** **ISO 630-2:2021, Grade E355**, with additional TMCP condition. **Chemical Composition (Ladle Analysis, % by weight, typical maximum values per EN 10025-4 for S355J2)** Lean, clean chemistry optimized for the TMCP process response. * **Carbon (C):** ≤ **0.16%** (Generally lower than normalized grades, crucial for weldability). * **Manganese (Mn):** ≤ **1.60%** * **Phosphorus (P):** ≤ **0.025%** (Low for toughness). * **Sulphur (S):** ≤ **0.020%** (Low for improved weldability and formability). * **Silicon (Si):** ≤ **0.55%** * **Aluminum (Alt):** ≥ **0.020%** (For grain refinement). * **Nitrogen (N):** ≤ **0.015%** * **Microalloys (Nb, Ti, V):** Precisely added in small amounts (e.g., Nb ≤ 0.05%, Ti ≤ 0.03%) to control recrystallization and precipitation during rolling, enabling grain refinement and strengthening. * **Carbon Equivalent (CEV):** Typically low, often **≤ 0.40**. This is a **major technical advantage**, significantly improving weldability by reducing pre-heat requirements and the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking. **Physical & Mechanical Properties (for thermomechanical condition, thickness ≤ 16mm)** * **Yield Strength (ReH):** ≥ **355 MPa** (Minimum for t ≤ 16mm; thickness-dependent). * **Tensile Strength (Rm):** **470 - 630 MPa**. * **Elongation at Break (A5):** ≥ **21%** (Minimum, longitudinal). * **Impact Energy (KV):** **≥ 27 J at -20°C** (Longitudinal, Charpy V-notch). Actual values are often much higher due to the fine-grained structure. * **Fine Grain Size:** Minimum grain size **6 or finer** (EN ISO 643). * **Density:** **~7.85 g/cm³**. * **Modulus of Elasticity:** **210 GPa**. **Product Features** 1. **Excellent Weldability (Key Feature):** The **low carbon equivalent (CEV)** is the standout benefit. It allows for welding with **lower or no pre-heat** in many applications, simplifies welding procedures, reduces fabrication time and cost, and minimizes the risk of cold cracking. 2. **Superior Toughness:** The thermomechanical process produces an exceptionally fine grain structure, resulting in excellent and consistent impact toughness at **-20°C** and often at even lower temperatures. 3. **Cost-Effective Production:** Properties are achieved in-line during rolling, eliminating the energy and time costs of a separate normalizing heat treatment. 4. **Good Strength-Toughness Balance:** Provides an optimal combination for dynamically loaded structures in cold environments. **Typical Applications** S355J2G4 is the material of choice for modern, efficiently fabricated critical structures, especially where welding is a major activity. * **Bridge Construction:** **Welded plate girders, box sections, and orthotropic decks** for roads and railways in cold climates. * **Offshore & Marine:** **Jacket braces, nodes, decks for offshore platforms, and hull structures** for ice-class vessels. * **Heavy Mobile Equipment:** **Welded frames and booms for cranes, excavators, and mining trucks** operating in winter conditions. * **Renewable Energy:** **Towers and foundations for onshore and offshore wind turbines**. * **Building Construction:** **High-rise building cores, moment-resisting frames, and other critical seismic or high-load elements**. **Available Forms & Processing** * **Forms:** Commonly supplied as **thermomechanically rolled plates**. Also increasingly available as **TMCP structural sections** (e.g., HEA/HEB beams). * **Surface:** With standard mill scale from rolling. * **Processing:** Excellent for all cutting and welding processes. **Welding heat input should be controlled** (medium-low recommended) to avoid coarsening the fine-grained microstructure in the Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ). Good cold forming capability. --- **Critical Procurement Note** * **Specify Correct Standard:** Ensure reference to **EN 10025-4**, not EN 10025-2 or -3. * **Thickness-Dependent Strength:** Always use the correct guaranteed yield strength from the EN 10025-4 tables for your specific product thickness in design calculations. * **Welding Advantage:** Actively communicate the low CEV to the fabricator to optimize welding procedures (potentially allowing lower pre-heat), which can lead to significant cost and time savings. * **Not "High Manganese":** This term is incorrect and should not be used. The correct classification is **"Thermomechanically Rolled Fine Grain Structural Steel with -20°C Toughness."** * **Microalloy Sensitivity:** The fine-grained HAZ can be sensitive to high heat input. Welding procedures should be qualified accordingly. * **Certification:** Supplied with an **Inspection Certificate 3.1** per EN 10204, confirming chemistry (noting microalloys), mechanical properties, impact tests at -20°C, and grain size. -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: EN S355J2G4 High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <5834 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 S355J2G4 High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
