What material is AS3678 steel plate

What material is AS3678 steel plate

Australian AS3678 carbon structural steel has yield strength ≥ 260MPa, tensile strength ≥ 410MPa and elongation ≥ 22%, which is equivalent to European standard S275JR. Q275B or Q275C is almost equivalent if there is no requirement for impact energy at 0℃ and - 15℃.
