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.
