Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about EN Standard S235 Steel Plate.
S235, S275 and S355 are EN 10025 structural steel grades with different minimum yield strength levels. S235 is often used for general structural applications where lower strength is acceptable, S275 provides a middle strength level with good formability, and S355 is used when higher load-bearing performance is required.
S235 and ASTM A36 are both commonly used structural steel plate grades, but they are produced to different standards. S235 is an EN 10025 structural steel grade, while A36 is an ASTM structural carbon steel grade. They may be considered comparable for some structural applications, but they should not be treated as automatic substitutes without confirming the project specification, mechanical properties, chemistry and MTR details.
S235 steel plate is used for general structural and fabrication applications that require carbon structural steel under European EN 10025 requirements. It is commonly selected for projects where formability, weldability and structural use are important, including general construction, fabricated components and structural steelwork.
In S235 steel plate, the “S” stands for structural steel, and “235” refers to the minimum yield strength of 235 MPa for certain thickness ranges. This naming system helps identify the steel’s structural use and base strength level under EN 10025.
S235JR, S235J0 and S235J2 are S235 structural steel qualities with different Charpy impact test temperature requirements. S235JR is associated with impact testing at +20°C, S235J0 at 0°C and S235J2 at -20°C, with the lower-temperature qualities used when added toughness is needed for colder service conditions.
