EN 10025-2 S235/S275/S355 Carbon Steel Coil: Versatile Structural Steel for Heavy-Duty Applications
Product Overview
EN 10025-2 S235JR/S275J2/S355J2 carbon steel coil is a low-alloy high-strength structural steel compliant with EN 10025-2, ASTM A572, and JIS G3106 SM490. Designed for construction machinery, transmission towers, and industrial frameworks, it delivers 235–355 MPa yield strength with 18–26% elongation and excellent weldability. Available in grades S235 (mild steel) to S355 (high-strength), it reduces fabrication costs by 20% compared to quenched steels while maintaining low-temperature toughness (-20°C).
