Introduction to EN10025-2 S450J0 Non-Alloy Structural Steel Plate

EN10025-2 S450J0 is a non-alloy structural steel grade that is widely recognized for its excellent mechanical properties and versatile applications in various industries. This grade is specified according to the European standard EN10025, which covers the technical delivery conditions for flat products of hot rolled non-alloy structural steels.
Chemical Composition:
The chemical composition of S450J0 is carefully controlled to ensure the required mechanical properties and weldability. The typical chemical composition is as follows:

• Carbon (C): ≤ 0.20%
• Silicon (Si): ≤ 0.55%
• Manganese (Mn): ≤ 1.60%
• Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.035%
• Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.035%
• Aluminum (Al): ≥ 0.020%
• Nitrogen (N): ≤ 0.012%
• Niobium (Nb): ≤ 0.05%
• Titanium (Ti): ≤ 0.03%
• Vanadium (V): ≤ 0.11%

Mechanical Properties:
The mechanical properties of S450J0 are characterized by its high strength and toughness. The following are the typical mechanical properties:

• Yield Strength: ≥ 450 MPa
• Tensile Strength: 550 - 700 MPa
• Elongation: ≥ 17%
• Impact Energy (at -20°C): ≥ 27J

Heat Treatment State:
S450J0 structural steel plates are generally supplied in the thermomechanically rolled condition (TMCP). This process ensures that the steel has a fine grain structure and improved mechanical properties without the need for further heat treatment after rolling.
Low-Temperature Impact Test:
The steel is subjected to a Charpy V-notch impact test at -20°C to ensure its toughness and ability to withstand low-temperature conditions. This is particularly important for applications in cold environments.
Available Dimensions:
TJC Steel Group offers S450J0 structural steel plates in a wide range of sizes to meet the demands of various projects. The typical available dimensions are:

• Thickness: 6 - 300 mm
• Width: 1500 - 4020 mm
• Length: 3000 - 27000 mm
