S355JR Non-alloy Quality Structural Steel

What is S355JR?S355 grade is a non-alloy structural steel defined in EN 10025 standard. As the name implies it is extensively utilized in the structural engineering. It is an important material supply for construction industries. S355 grade gives robust yield and tensile strength and is offered with numerous treatments and test alternative to ascertain that it is an extremely applied steel in different projects.

字母“S”的年级repr S355JR材料ents the steel as structural steel, letters in numerals i.e. “355” represents yield strength i.e. 355 N/mm² minimally, the “JR” addition ensures that the steel has been subjected to testing at 27 Joules with longitudinal Chary V-Notch impact testing at standard room temperature. Different designations of Charpy tests include J2, J0, and K2.

What is EN 10025?EN 10025 is the European standard for Hot rolled products of structural steels. Moreover it also specified technical delivery conditions for non-alloy structural steels. S355 grade is also defined in this standard.

Why S355JR called 1.0045 Stainless Steel?S355JR is the EN mechanical and chemical designation stated in the standard whereas 1.0045 is the numeric designation of the same grade.
