Gangsteel, a leading manufacturer and exporter of structural steel plates, supplies premium EN 10025 equivalents for construction, bridges, and heavy machinery applications. EN 10025 is a European standard series for structural steels, and its US equivalent is ASTM standards like A36 for S275JR and A572 Gr 50 for S355JR. This article explores the US equivalent of EN 10025, detailing equivalents by part, chemical compositions, mechanical properties, and applications, helping engineers and fabricators select suitable alternatives for US projects.

 

us equivalent of en 10025 Overview of EN 10025 Standard

 

EN 10025 is a family of European standards for hot-rolled structural steels, divided into 6 parts. Its US equivalents are ASTM standards for similar non-alloy and high-strength steels. Gangsteel offers EN 10025 with US equivalents like EN 10025-2 S355J0 and EN 10025-2 S235J0, ensuring compliance for global projects.

 

us equivalent of en 10025 Grade Mapping by Part

EN 10025 equivalents are mapped by part and grade to US ASTM. The table below shows key mappings:

EN 10025 Part/Grade

US (ASTM) Equivalent

Notes

10025-2 S235JR

A283 Gr C

General construction.

10025-2 S275JR

A36

Balanced strength.

10025-2 S355JR

A572 Gr 50

High strength for bridges.

10025-3 S355N

A709 Gr 50

Fine grain for toughness.

10025-5 S355J0W

A588 Gr B

Weathering for corrosion resistance.

10025-6 S460Q

A514 Gr Q

High-strength quenched and tempered.

Key Notes on Grade Mapping:

  • EN 10025-2 (non-alloy): ASTM A36 for S275JR, A572 Gr 50 for S355JR.
  • EN 10025-3 (fine grain): ASTM A709 Gr 50 for normalized steels.
  • EN 10025-5 (weathering): ASTM A588 for corrosion-resistant structures.
  • EN 10025-6 (high-strength): ASTM A514 for quenched steels.

These mappings are functional, but verify for specific codes. Gangsteel provides dual-certified plates, including EN 10025-2 S275JR and EN 10025-2 S275J0 steel.

Key Notes on Mechanical Properties:

  • Both have similar strength, but EN 10025-2 guarantees impact.
  • ASTM A572 Gr 50 is versatile but may need testing for cold use.

Gangsteel provides tested plates for reliable performance.

 

us equivalent of en 10025 Applications and Substitution Considerations

 

EN 10025 is used in construction (buildings), offshore (platforms), and machinery (cranes). US equivalents substitute for:

  • EN 10025-2 S235JR: A283 Gr C for low-load.
  • EN 10025-2 S355JR: A572 Gr 50 for high-strength.

Substitution considerations:

  • Standards Compliance: EN for Europe, ASTM for US.
  • Toughness: EN has impact testing; ASTM may not.
  • Cost/Availability: ASTM in US, EN in Europe; Gangsteel bridges this.

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