European Standard Steel Plate
Manufactured to EN 10025, European standard steel plate is widely used in structural and industrial applications that require dependable strength, weldability and performance. Common grades include S235, S275, S355 and S420, each designated by its minimum yield strength and available with additional toughness and delivery condition requirements to suit specific project demands.
When EN grades are specified for projects in North America, it is typically because the project parent company is based in Europe. When required, Leeco® can certify ASTM material to meet EN specifications.
European standard steel plate is commonly used in North America for construction, bridges, offshore structures, energy, transportation infrastructure, material handling equipment and heavy manufacturing. Grades such as S355 are especially popular for combining high strength with excellent fabrication characteristics.
Leeco Steel offers a wide range of EN standard steel plate grades and sizes, supported by expert technical guidance, value-added processing capabilities and a global sourcing network. Whether you're sourcing material for North American infrastructure, industrial equipment or complex structural projects, Leeco delivers the inventory, experience and supply chain support needed to help keep projects on schedule.
How to Read and Decode EN Steel Grade Names
The EN grade designation is designed to quickly communicate a steel plate's key mechanical properties and delivery condition. This standardized naming convention helps engineers, fabricators and buyers quickly identify the material best suited for their application.
Example: S355J2+N
-
S = Structural steel
-
355 = Minimum yield strength of 355 MPa
-
J2 = Charpy impact testing at -20°C
-
+N = Normalized or normalized-rolled condition
