EN 10025 S235JR is a European standard non-alloy structural steel grade known for its good weldability, machinability, and moderate strength, commonly used in construction, bridges, and machinery. Equivalent ASTM grades include A36 (ASTM A36) and A283 Grade C (ASTM A283), which share similar chemical compositions and mechanical properties for general structural applications. As a leading manufacturer and exporter, Gangsteel produces high-quality plates equivalent to S235JR under asme sa 283/sa 283m, offering reliable alternatives for global construction projects.

 

Overview of EN 10025 S235JR and Equivalent ASTM Grades

EN 10025 S235JR is a hot-rolled structural steel with a minimum yield strength of 235 MPa, suitable for non-critical applications like buildings and bridges. ASTM A36 is the closest equivalent, with a yield strength of 36 ksi (250 MPa), used for similar purposes in the US. ASTM A283 Grade C is another match, with slightly lower strength but comparable weldability for structural components. Gangsteel's asme sa 283/sa 283m plates provide equivalent performance, including grades like sa 283 grade a steel plate, sa 283 grade b steel plate, sa 283 grade c steel plate, and sa 283 grade d steel plate for versatile structural needs.
