en 10025 s355j2g3 equivalent Applications and Substitution Considerations

 

S355J2G3 is used in construction (bridges), offshore (platforms), and machinery (cranes). Its equivalent S355J2+N substitutes for:

  • High-rise buildings and heavy bridges.
  • Wind turbines and moderate-cold machinery.

Substitution considerations:

  • Standards Compliance: Old EN for legacy, new EN for current projects.
  • Toughness: Both have impact at -20°C.
  • Cost/Availability: S355J2+N is more common; Gangsteel bridges this.

For low-temperature, check EN 10025-2 S355J2 steel or EN 10025-2 S355K2 steel.
