en 10025 s355j2 n equivalent Overview of EN 10025 S355J2+N

 

EN 10025-2 S355J2+N is a European standard grade for hot-rolled non-alloy structural steels, where "+N" indicates normalized or normalized rolled condition for improved toughness. Its equivalents in other standards offer similar properties for international sourcing. Common equivalents include ASTM A572 Grade 50 (USA), DIN ST52-3N (Germany), JIS SM490YA (Japan), and GB Q355D (China). Gangsteel offers EN 10025 S355J2+N with equivalents like EN 10025-2 S355K2 steel and EN 10025-2 S450J0 steel, ensuring compliance with CE marking.

en 10025 s355j2 n equivalent Applications and Substitution Considerations

 

EN 10025 S355J2+N is used in construction (high-rise, bridges), offshore (platforms), and machinery (cranes). Equivalents allow substitution:

  • For general use: ASTM A572 Gr 50 in US projects.
  • For cold resistance: DIN ST52-3N for European machinery.

Substitution considerations:

  • Standards Compliance: EN for Europe (CE marking), ASTM for US (AWS codes).
  • Toughness: EN grades have impact testing; ASTM may not, requiring supplements for cold use.
  • Cost/Availability: EN in Europe, ASTM in US; Gangsteel bridges this with dual-certified plates.

For low-temperature equivalents, check EN 10025-2 S355K2 steel or EN 10025-2 S235J2 steel.
