A flange—also referred to as a flange plate or rim—is a component used to connect shafts to one another, or, more commonly, to join the ends of pipes. Flanges are also utilized at the inlet and outlet ports of equipment to facilitate connections between two devices—for instance, the flange on a speed reducer. A "flange connection" or "flanged joint" refers to a detachable joint assembly comprising three interconnected elements—a flange, a gasket, and bolts—that together form a sealed structural unit. In the context of piping systems, a "pipe flange" specifically denotes a flange used for plumbing within the installation; when applied to equipment, it refers to the inlet or outlet flange of that specific device. Flanges feature a series of holes through which bolts are inserted to securely fasten the two flanges together, while a gasket placed between the flanges ensures a leak-proof seal. Flanges are broadly categorized into three types: threaded (screw-in) flanges, welded flanges, and clamp-type flanges. Flanges are invariably used in pairs; threaded flanges are suitable for low-pressure piping applications, whereas welded flanges are required for systems operating at pressures exceeding 4 kilograms per square centimeter. A sealing gasket is inserted between the two flange plates, which are then firmly secured using bolts. The thickness of a flange—as well as the specifications of the bolts used to fasten it—vary depending on the specific pressure rating required for the application. When connecting equipment such as water pumps or valves to piping systems, the corresponding connection points on these devices are often manufactured in the shape of a matching flange; this method of attachment is also referred to as a "flange connection." Generally, any connecting component that utilizes bolts to join and seal the perimeters of two flat surfaces—such as the joints in ventilation ducts—is termed a "flange"; such components may collectively be classified as "flange-type parts." However, since such a connection often constitutes merely a *portion* of a larger device—for instance, the interface between a flange and a water pump—it would be inappropriate to classify the entire water pump itself as a "flange-type part." Conversely, smaller components—such as valves—that feature such flanged interfaces may indeed be appropriately categorized as "flange-type parts." -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: EN S355JRC High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel Flange Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: EN S355JRC High Manganese, Structural, Hot Rolled, Quality Steel Flange Synonyms -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:

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. -:
