EN S355JRC High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: # **Product Name:** EN S355JRC Structural Steel for Cold Forming, Hot Rolled, Base Material **Overview** EN S355JRC is a **specialized non-alloy structural steel** defined under EN 10025-2, belonging to the high-strength S355 category. It is distinguished by the supplementary designation **"C"**, which explicitly indicates the steel is **intended for cold forming** and has a chemical composition optimized for this purpose. It provides the fundamental strength of the base S355JR grade, but with **significantly enhanced ductility and cold workability** due to stricter controls on residual elements. This makes it the preferred choice for manufacturing complex, high-strength components through processes like bending, roll-forming, or stamping. It is **not a "High Manganese" steel**; its defining characteristic is superior 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 & Designation Decoding:** **S355JRC** * **S:** Structural Steel. * **355:** Minimum yield strength in MPa (for nominal thickness ≤ 16mm). * **JR:** Base quality designation. Impact tested at **Room Temperature (+20°C)**. * **C:** **Critical supplementary designation** for **steels intended for cold forming**. This mandates stricter chemical limits than standard S355JR. * **Core Concept:** This is a **Base Material with a special purpose**. The "C" elevates it from a general-purpose S355JR to a fabrication-optimized grade, but it retains the basic JR toughness level (suitable only for temperatures ≥ +20°C). * **Clarification on "High Manganese":** This is **incorrect and misleading**. S355JRC has a standard manganese range for its class. Its premium lies in **controlled chemistry for forming ("C")**, not in alloy content. The term should be avoided. * **Common Equivalents:** No direct global equivalent exists for the EN "C" classification. It can be loosely compared to **cold-forming grades of ASTM A572 Grade 50** with supplemental bending requirements. **Chemical Composition (Ladle Analysis, % by weight, maximum values per EN 10025-2 for 'C' grades)** The composition is tailored for high-strength ductility and reduced risk of cracking during cold work. * **Carbon (C):** ≤ **0.20%** (Often targeted at the lower end for better formability and weldability). * **Manganese (Mn):** ≤ **1.60%** (Standard for S355, not elevated). * **Phosphorus (P):** ≤ **0.030%** (**Key Differentiator** - Tighter than the 0.040% limit for standard S355JR. Reduces "cold shortness"). * **Sulphur (S):** ≤ **0.030%** (**Key Differentiator** - Tighter than the 0.040% limit for standard S355JR. Improves ductility and edge formability). * **Silicon (Si):** ≤ **0.55%**. * **Nitrogen (N):** ≤ **0.018%**. * **Carbon Equivalent (CEV):** Typically ~0.40-0.44%. While significant for welding, the cleaner "C" grade base metal can offer slightly better resistance to weld cracking. **Physical & Mechanical Properties (for hot-rolled condition, thickness ≤ 16mm)** * **Yield Strength (ReH):** ≥ **355 MPa** (Minimum for t ≤ 16mm; decreases with thickness). * **Tensile Strength (Rm):** **470 - 630 MPa**. * **Elongation at Break (A5):** ≥ **21%** (Minimum, typically good due to favorable chemistry). * **Impact Energy (KV):** ≥ **27 J at +20°C** (Longitudinal, Charpy V-notch). **CRITICAL: No toughness guarantee below +20°C.** * **Cold Formability:** **Excellent – The Primary Feature.** The steel is certified to withstand significant cold deformation (bending, roll-forming, stamping) in its thickness range with a **markedly reduced risk of cracking** at the edges or in the bend zone compared to standard S355JR. Allows for tighter bend radii. * **Density:** **~7.85 g/cm³**. * **Modulus of Elasticity:** **210 GPa**. **Product Features** 1. **Optimized for Cold Forming (Primary Feature):** The "C" chemistry ensures this high-strength material can withstand severe cold bending and forming operations without failure, reducing scrap rates and enabling more complex designs than possible with standard S355JR. 2. **High-Strength Base Material:** Retains the 355 MPa yield strength of the S355 family, allowing for weight savings or higher load capacity in formed components. 3. **Good Weldability (with Controlled Procedures):** Maintains the weldability of S355, but the higher CEV necessitates proper procedure. Pre-heating is recommended for thicker sections (>30mm) and restrained joints, especially after cold working which can induce stresses. 4. **Cost-Effective for Fabrication:** While potentially more expensive than standard S355JR, it can lead to overall cost savings by improving production yield in forming shops and allowing for high-strength formed parts. **Typical Applications** S355JRC is specified where high-strength components require significant cold working. * **Heavy Vehicle & Trailer Manufacturing:** **Cold-formed high-strength brackets, chassis cross-members, and structural reinforcements** for trucks and trailers. * **Construction & Heavy Equipment:** **Press-braked connection plates, stiffeners, and structural sections** for building frames and machinery. * **Material Handling & Storage:** **Roll-formed uprights and beams for ultra-heavy-duty racking and shelving systems**. * **Agricultural & Forestry Machinery:** **Formed structural parts and protective components** requiring high strength. * **General Heavy Fabrication:** Any component where the design involves **significant bending or forming of high-strength plate after blanking**. **Available Forms & Processing** * **Forms:** Commonly supplied as **hot-rolled sheet and strip** (in coils or cut lengths), **plates**, and **flat bars**. * **Surface:** Typically with mill scale. Often supplied as **pickled and oiled (PO)** for critical forming applications to improve tool life and surface finish. * **Processing:** **Ideal for shearing, punching, and especially press-brake bending and roll-forming.** Also weldable with correct procedures. --- **Critical Procurement Note** * **Must Specify "C":** It is imperative to specify the full designation **"S355JRC"**. Ordering "S355JR" will deliver standard material with higher P and S, which is far more prone to cracking during aggressive forming of high-strength steel. * **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, **S355J0C** or **S355J2C** must be used. * **Not "High Manganese":** Do not use this term. Its value proposition is **"Cold-Formable High-Strength (S355) Base Structural Steel."** * **Thickness-Strength:** Confirm the applicable minimum yield strength for the ordered thickness from EN 10025-2 tables. * **Welding Considerations:** The combination of high strength and possible residual stresses from cold forming requires careful welding procedure specification. Post-form stress relieving may be considered for critical applications. -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: EN S355JRC High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <5837 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 S355JRC High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
