What is the steel grade ST37-2 equivalent to

The steel grade ST37-2 is a carbon structural steel that is commonly used in construction and industrial applications. It is often considered the German equivalent to A36 steel in the United States.

The equivalent grades of ST37-2 steel from different international standards are as follows:

1. ASTM A36: A common structural steel grade in the United States. It is the most widely used structural steel.

2. DIN 17100 St37-2 (S235JR): The closest equivalent in the European standard. S235JR is the EN equivalent to ASTM A36.

3. JIS G3101 SS400: A Japanese steel grade which is close in comparison to ST37-2.

4. GB/T 700 Q235B: The Chinese standard equivalent to ST37-2.

These ST37-2 equivalents are approximate and may not be one-to-one matches in terms of exact composition or properties. However, they are often used interchangeably in various applications where similar mechanical properties and chemical compositions are required.
