4. GENERAL
Raw materials delivered against this specification shall be followed of a raw material certificate that complies with the
formalistic requirements of EN-10204, certificate type 3.1, having the chemical composition and mechanical
properties clearly defined. When needed, chemical composition and mechanical test reports or the proof to comply
with other supplementary requirements shall be attached to the certificate and shall make reference to the heat
number declared on the steel mill certificate.
Each purchase order delivered to SGRE must include all relevant certificates, supplier shall keep a traceability in
which following information must be available:
o Reference number
o Heat/batch number
o Material certificate number
o Test Report number (if needed when there are supplementary requirements)
o Traceability of the parts (or purchase orders) manufactured with these materials.
Unless otherwise specified in the part drawing or in other product specification, the surface condition of the steel
plates must comply with Class A, Subclass 3 of EN 10163-2. The beams (sections) must comply with Class C,
Subclass 3 of EN 10163-3. Repair of surface defects by welding is not allowed.
Depending on the criticity of the component, SGRE reserves the right to carry out tests at external laboratories to
assure that the product complies with the requirements.

4.1. ALTERNATIVES TO STRUCTURAL STEELS - EN 10025

The alternatives for the structural steels defined in EN10025 depends on the thickness and the minimum survival
temperature of the part according to EN 1993-1-10.
In Table 4.1 and Table 4.2 it is shown the different alternatives for a structural steel specified in drawing for one
specific part considering the requirements for Charpy Impact temperatures and the use of higher strength grades.
The information on Table 4.1 and Table 4.2 apply only to parts not subjected to cold bending processes. For parts
subject to cold bending processes the direct equivalence of the steel grades in Table 4.3 must be used. For cold bent
parts it is not allowed to use steel grades of higher tensile properties than the specified in the drawing.
Regardless of the part manufacturing process, for the same steel grade strength, the use of subgrades of higher
impact energies is allowed without deviation. As an example, if it is specified a S355JR, it can be used as well the
subgrades J0, J2 or K2.
The validity of each material is determined by the yield strength and the thickness of each part. One different material
than the specified in drawing could be accepted if this alternative material has the same or more yield strength and
it is within the range of thickness indicated in the tables depending on the minimal temperature at which part must
be exposed.
This range of thickness has been adopted according to [Ref 7] and it is valid for parts designed for minimum survival
temperature of -30ºC in the case of Table 4.1 and -40ºC in the case of Table 4.2. These values are not valid for lower
temperatures.

manufactured by cold bending

As an example, a part not manufactured by cold bending which must withstand -30ºC, with 20mm thickness and raw
material specified as S235J2, can be manufactured in S235JR, S235J0, S275JR, S275J0, S275J2, S355J0 or
S355J2 but not in S355JR. However, if the thickness of the part is 50mm, only S235J2 and S275J2 are valid.

As an example, a part not manufactured by cold bending which must withstand -40ºC, with thickness ≤ 15mm and
raw material specified as S355J2, can be manufactured by S355J2, S355J0 or S355JR. However, if the thickness of
the part is 20mm, only S355J0 and S355J2 are valid.
4.2. ALTERNATIVE GRADES OF PLATES AND SHAPES

In Table 4.3 it is documented the best match with non-European standards to comply with the requirements of
European grade designations with supplementary requirements where needed.
It is important to remind that for cold bent parts it is not allowed to use steel grades of higher tensile properties than
the specified in the drawing, but it could be used higher impact grades. For example, if a drawing of a cold bent part
requires the use of S235 J0 a supplier in China can use only Q235C or Q235D. The use of other grades must be
evaluated under deviation request.
The application of the supplementary requirements can be evaluated by the materials engineer for specific cases.
Evaluation of the CEV can be done using the material composition info shown on the raw material certificate and
shall be calculated according to the formula below:
Mn Cr+Mo+V Ni+Cu
CEV = C + + +
6 5 15
When supplementary impact requirements are needed, the tests shall be done following the instructions of the
standard of the European grade, [Ref 1] or [Ref 2].

4.3. ALTERNATIVE GRADES OF HOLLOW STRUCTURAL SECTIONS

Hollow structural sections defined in SGRE drawings follow mainly the requirements of [Ref 8] or [Ref 9] depending
on the part requirements. Hot finished square or rectangular sections defined against [Ref 8] can be substituted by
cold rolled sections defined against [Ref 9] provided the requirements stablished in [Ref 32] are met.
The equivalences shown herein are related only to steel grade and mechanical properties. Is there are differences
in the dimensions of the specified hollow section and the proposed one this shall be approved by a deviation request.
Table 4.4 shows the equivalences for hollow structural sections that are hot rolled/formed or hot finished.

5.1. EUROPEAN GRADES ALTERNATIVES FOR EUROPEAN COLD FORMED

GRADES.
In the case that the part is cold formed with many folds and its thickness is equal to or less than 3mm, the material
defined in drawing could not correspond with one from EN 10025 and could be defined according to EN 10130 or EN
10111. In that case the alternatives from Table 5.1 could be used. These alternatives are determined by the yield
strength of each part. A different material than one specified in drawing could be accepted if this alternative material
has more yield strength, and it is represented and summarized in Table 5.1.

Apart of the information contained on Table 6.1 and Table 6.2 the grade designation on the drawings can bring
supplementary information that should be fulfilled. The meaning of this supplementary information is explained in EN
10346 and in Table 6.3.

Table 6.3 - Supplementary Designation for HDG Steels
Designation acc.
Meaning
to EN 10346
C Chemical passivation
O Oil application
CO Chemical passivation + oil application
P Phosphated
PO Phosphated and oiled
S Sealed
N Normal Spangle
M Minimum Spangle
A As coated surface
B Improved surface
C Best quality surface
A surface quality “A” is where small erosion points, dark points and smaller chromate passivation
treatment defects and minimized particles are allowed. A quality “B” surface is where slight press marks, scratch zinc
flow and slight chromate passivation defects and zinc coating over-thickness are allowed. This quality level is reached
by skin pass process. The quality “C” where the defects of better surface must be limited. This is, if cannot influence
appearance quality after paint coating and should have even and proper paint coating. On the other surface, it should
keep B surface at least.
