EN 10025 S235JR Material (1.0038 Steel)

EN 10025 S235JR material (1.0038 steel) is an European standard hot rolled non-alloy structural steel. It has good plasticity, toughness and weldability, moderate strength and good cold bending properties.

Material S235JR meaning (designation):

  • “S” is for Structural Steel;
  • “235” represents the minimum yield strength (MPa) for the steel thickness ≤ 16mm;
  • “JR” indicates the quality grade related to Charpy impact test energy value ≥ 27 J at room temperature (20 °C);
  • “C” indicates the material is suitable for cold flanging, cold bending, cold forming or cold drawing, e.g. S235JRC (1.0122).
  • 1.0038 is the steel number of this material.

Carbon steel S235JR general delivery conditions are as follows:

  • +AR means “As-Rolled” and delivery condition without special rolling and/or heat treatment.
  • +N is short for “Normalized or normalized formed”
  • +M represents “Thermal Mechanical Control Processing – TMCP”
  • +C is the “Cold work hardened”
  • +A indicates that the material is in the soft annealed condition.
  • +AT means that the steel is in the solution annealed condition.
  • More designation & meaning of European steel names

Example 1: When the delivery condition is as-rolled or normalized, the steel name is given as S235JR+AR (1.0038+AR) or S235JR+N (1.0038+N).

Example 2: S235JRC steel means the material is suitable for cold flanging, cold bending, cold forming or cold drawing.

Example 3: If S235JRC steel is delivered in the condition of cold work hardened, it’s named as S235JRC+C (1.0122+C).

    What is the equivalent material S235 for Indian standard

  2. Leela says

    Hello can you please tell me S235JRC’s optical properties. i need emissivity or absorbtivity

  3. Gaetan Hughes says

    Good day World Material,

    Can you please advise the equivalent material S235JR for Australian Standard ie: 250 or 350 Grade plate

    1. World Material says

      Hi, it’s chemical composition and properties are closer to 250 grade steel plate in Australian & New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 3678: 2016 (Structural steel – Hot-rolled plates, floor plates and slabs), but material S235JR is non-alloy structural steel and doesn’t contain Al, Cr, Ni, Mo, and Ti.
      And also closer to grade 250 in AS/NZS 3679.1 :1996 (Structural steel Part 1: Hot-rolled bars and sections), but grade 250 has been removed since 2010.

  4. Prabhu Ravichandran says

    What is the equivalent Grade in Indian Standard for this Material Grade – EN10025-2 S235JR + AR
    And also wat is this AR means ???

    Someone do your needful

    1. Jawad K A says

      You can use IS 2062 E250 or ASTM A36 which are readily available in Indian Market.
      AR means As Rolled.
