EN 10025 2 S235JR steel equivalent ASTM A283 grade C

EN 10025 2 S235JR steel equivalent ASTM materials are ASTM A283 grade C, ASTM A36. BBN steel has shared a lot of knowledges about ASTM A36 steel before. Today, we would like to study EN 10025 2 S235JR steel equivalent ASTM A283 grade C.

First, let us check the chemical composition of EN 10025 2 S235JR steel equivalent ASTM A283 grade C, and make a comparison between the 2 materials.

Chemical composition of EN 10025 2 S235JR steel equivalent ASTM A283 grade C:

Grade	C	Mn	P	S	Si	Cu	N
ASTM A283 grade C	0.24	0.90	0.035	0.040	0.40	0.20	-
EN 10025 2 S235JR	0.19	1.50	0.045	0.045	-	0.60	0.014

Chemical composition of EN 10025 2 S235JR steel equivalent ASTM A283 grade C has small difference from that of S235JR steel. However, the chemical composition decides the steel properties to large extent. Let us check the mechanical properties of the two materials together.

Mechanical properties of EN 10025 2 S235JR steel equivalent ASTM A283 grade C:

Grade	Yield Strength	Tensile Strength	Extension
	MPA	MPA	%
ASTM A283 grade C	205	380~515	22
EN 10025 2 S235JR	225	360~510	26

The mechanical properties of the two materials have overlapping parts but also difference. So though EN 10025 2 S235JR steel and ASTM A283 grade C steel are equivalent materials. Only part ASTM A283 grade C steel and EN 10025 2 S235JR steel can meet strength requirements of each other. Whether ASTM A283 grade C steel is suitable for your project, or EN 10025 2 S235JR steel much better, it needs to check with engineer first.
