Steel
Structural steel, non-alloyed - S235JR
Mat erial 00 11 1 312 90

1 GENERAL
This standard, based on EN 10025-2:2004, specifies the technical delivery conditions
for flat and long products and semi-finished products which are ment for further
processing, it does not apply to structural hollow sections and tubes.
The material is identical to symbol: S235JR, number: 1.0038.

b) FN = rimming steel not permitted.

c) For sections with nominal thickness > 100 mm the C content by agreement.

d) For long products the P and S content can be 0,005 % higher.

e) For long products the S content can be increased for improved machinability by 0,015 % by agreementy if
the steel is treated to modify the sulphide morphology and the chemical composition shows min. 0,0020 %
Ca.

f) The max. value for nitrogen does not apply if the chemical composition shows a minimum total Al content of
0,020 % or alternatively min. 0,0154 % acid soluble Al or if sufficient other N binding elements are present. In
this case the N binding elements shall be mentioned in the inspection document.

g) Cu content above 0,40

% may cause hot shortness during hot forming

h) If other elements are added, they shall be mentioned on the inspection document.
