What is the equivalent of S355J0 steel?

Aug 21, 2025 Leave a message

S355J0 is a European standard structural steel grade specified in EN 10025-2.

S355JO is a medium tensile, low carbon manganese steel which is readily weldable and possess good impact resistance. This material is commonly supplied in the untreated or normalized condition.

The equivalent grades of S355J0 in different standards and regions include

 

info-422-2581. ASTM (American Standards):

ASTM A572 Grade 50: This is a common equivalent to S355J0 in terms of mechanical properties and usage in construction and structural applications.

ASTM A36: While A36 has lower mechanical properties than S355J0, it can sometimes be used as an equivalent in less demanding applications.

 

2. DIN (German Standards):

DIN 17100 St52-3: This is an older standard that corresponds to S355J0, although S355J0 offers better notch toughness due to its "J0" designation.

DIN EN 10025-2 S355JR: This is the German equivalent under the same EN standard but with slightly different impact energy requirements (S355JR is tested at 20°C, while S355J0 is tested at 0°C).

 

3. JIS (Japanese Standards):

JIS G3106 SM490: This is a Japanese equivalent to S355J0 in terms of mechanical properties.

info-376-199

4. Chinese Standards:

GB/T 1591 Q345B: This is a common Chinese equivalent to S355J0, with similar strength and mechanical properties.

 

5. Indian Standards:

IS 2062 E350: This is an Indian standard equivalent to S355J0, typically used in structural applications.

 

6. Other European Standards:

EN 10025-2 S355J2: S355J2 is similar to S355J0 but with a higher impact energy test temperature (-20°C instead of 0°C). It is often used as an equivalent in applications requiring better toughness.

 

Summary:

S355J0 is equivalent to several international steel grades such as ASTM A572 Grade 50, DIN St52-3, JIS SM490, and GB/T Q345B, depending on the specific requirements of the application and regional standards.
