At Gangsteel, we are a trusted global supplier of DIN 17102 StE500 normalized carbon steel plates, offering high-strength, low-alloy structural steel for demanding engineering applications. These plates, compliant with the DIN 17102 standard, are designed for superior strength, weldability, and formability, making them ideal for bridges, highways, and heavy machinery. This article details the specifications, chemical composition, mechanical properties, and applications of StE500 structural steel plate, ensuring clients can make informed decisions for their projects. For related pressure vessel grades, explore BS EN 10028-2 P355GH steel plate, ASTM A516 GR 70, and ASME SA 516 GR 70.

What is DIN 17102 StE500 Steel Plates?

The DIN 17102 StE500 normalized carbon steel plates are weldable fine-grain structural steels specified under the DIN 17102 standard, which applies to hot-rolled products such as plates, strips, wide flats, sections, and bars. The StE500 grade offers a minimum yield strength of 500 MPa and a tensile strength range of 610–780 MPa, making it a high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel suitable for structural components requiring excellent cold formability and toughness. Available in normalized condition, these plates ensure uniform mechanical properties and enhanced resistance to brittle fracture.

Gangsteel supplies high-strength low-alloy steel plate StE500 in thicknesses from 6 mm to 400 mm, with customizable dimensions to meet project-specific needs. Our plates are rigorously tested, including supplementary options like HIC (NACE MR0175), ultrasonic examination (UT), and Z-direction tests (Z15, Z25, Z35), ensuring reliability in critical applications.

Chemical Composition of StE500 Structural Steel Plate

The chemical composition of DIN 17102 StE500 normalized carbon steel plates is carefully controlled to ensure weldability and strength. The table below provides the maximum percentages based on cast analysis, sourced from industry references.

Element	Max (% by weight)	Notes

Silicon (Si)	0.10–0.60	Supports deoxidation and structural integrity.
Manganese (Mn)	1.00–1.70	Enhances strength and toughness for structural applications.
Phosphorus (P)	0.035	Low P ensures ductility and resistance to embrittlement.
Sulfur (S)	0.030	Low S improves weldability and HIC resistance.
Nitrogen (N)	0.020	Controlled to prevent embrittlement.
Niobium (Nb)	0.05	Promotes grain refinement for improved strength.
Chromium (Cr)	0.30	Trace element for corrosion resistance.
Copper (Cu)	0.20	Trace element for enhanced durability.
Molybdenum (Mo)	0.10	Trace element for strength at elevated temperatures.
Nickel (Ni)	0.30	Trace element for toughness.
Vanadium (V)	0.22	Enhances strength and fine-grain structure.
Nb + Ti + V	0.22	Combined microalloying elements for optimal mechanical properties.

Notes:

The StE500 structural steel plate is designed for high-strength applications, with low alloying elements ensuring excellent weldability and formability.
Supplementary HIC testing (NACE MR0175) is available for sour service environments, aligning with Gangsteel’s quality standards for grades like ASTM A516 GR 70.
