S355JR is a structural steel grade that is commonly used in construction and engineering applications. It is part of the EN 10025-2 standard, which specifies technical delivery conditions for non-alloy structural steels.
Some key properties of S355JR include:
Strength: It has a minimum yield strength of 355 megapascals (MPa), giving it good structural strength.
Ductility: S355JR offers good ductility, allowing it to be formed and shaped without compromising its integrity.
Weldability: This grade of steel has excellent weldability, making it suitable for welded structures.
Impact resistance: S355JR exhibits high toughness and impact resistance, even at low temperatures.
Corrosion resistance: While not inherently corrosion-resistant, appropriate coatings or treatments can be applied to enhance its protection against corrosion.
Steel plates made from S355JR are used in various applications such as bridges, buildings, offshore structures, and machinery. The plates are available in different thicknesses and widths to suit specific requirements.
